The Chambers of Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya has established itself as a leading authority in competition law matters across India, representing prominent clients in landmark cases before the Competition Commission of India (CCI), appellate tribunals, High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India. Our expertise spans various critical aspects of competition law, demonstrating exceptional capability in handling complex antitrust issues.
The Chambers of Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya has successfully argued in disputes regarding the jurisdictional boundaries between competition law and intellectual property rights, particularly in patent licensing matters. We have successfully challenged the CCI's authority to investigate alleged abuse of dominant position by patent holders, arguing that patent licensing disputes fall exclusively under the Patents Act's comprehensive framework.
Similarly, we represented a telecommunications company in a jurisdiction dispute where the Delhi High Court established a landmark precedent on the competition-IP interface in the telecom sector, limiting CCI's jurisdiction over alleged abuse of dominance by patent holders.
The Chambers of Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya has extensive experience representing clients in significant abuse of dominance matters across multiple industries. We have successfully defended an LPG infrastructure services provider against market dominance allegations and represented leading online retailers in challenging Competition Commission of India (CCI) investigations into deep discounting and private label promotion practices. We have also acted for major technology companies in cases involving digital app marketplace monetization models and app store billing systems, achieving reduced penalties on appeal.
In addition, we have a strong track record in cases involving alleged anti-competitive agreements. Our work includes securing an appellate ruling in favor of a leading automobile manufacturer accused of resale price maintenance and tie-in violations, advising a major steel manufacturer in a cartelization case within the bearings market, and achieving case closure for liquor industry clients where the CCI found no contravention of the Competition Act.
Our expertise extends to digital markets and e-commerce, where we have represented prominent social media and technology platforms in proceedings related to app marketplaces, online advertising, and platform policies. We have successfully challenged CCI investigation orders against e-commerce platforms for alleged abuse of dominance and obtained favorable orders for online food delivery platforms in confidentiality disputes, ensuring greater protection for sensitive business information.
We are also adept at addressing procedural and jurisdictional issues in competition law. Our team has contested procedural irregularities in CCI investigations, managed jurisdictional conflicts between regulators such as CCI and SEBI or TRAI, and safeguarded clients’ rights during ongoing investigations, including matters of interim relief and confidentiality. Through these efforts, and by representing a distinguished clientele spanning technology, automotive, financial, and manufacturing sectors, our chambers has earned a reputation as a trusted advisor in navigating India’s complex competition law landscape.
