2010 (3) TMI 678 - HIGH COURT OF DELHIInterpretation of section 12B of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969 Held that:- No doubt the respondents would have to defend legal proceedings in more than one forum, but then that is what has been specifically permitted by section 12B of the said Act and the principle of election of remedies cannot be imported to deny parallel proceedings it such parallel proceedings have been specifically permitted even if in the past the Commission has taken a view to the contrary. As per the clear mandate of section 12B(4) of the said Act, an application for compensation is maintainable even if a civil suit is pending and the application must proceed in accordance with law. We thus set aside the impugned order dated 13-11-2000 and direct the Commission (now the succeeding authority being Competition Commission of India under the Competition Act, 2002) to proceed in accordance with law. The petition is accordingly allowed
