HC extends stay on CCI order against Maruti Suzuki

Restrains CCI from taking any 'coercive measures' against the car-maker

The Delhi high court on Thursday extended the stay on the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) order levying a penalty of Rs 471 crore on Maruti Suzuki India for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the spare parts market.

Judge Rajiv Shakdher also restrained CCI from taking any "coercive measures" against the car-maker after it sought protection on the ground that other automobile manufacturers had already got relief from the division bench of the high court and it be treated at par with them.
