Fair trade regulator CCI has dismissed a complaint alleging unfair business practices against the Eastern Railways.
The order came on a complaint filed by Abhiraj Associates Pvt Ltd which is engaged in the business of export of stone aggregates and boulders through rakes allotted by the Eastern Railways.
The complainant alleged that the Eastern Railways stopped allotting rakes to it from July 2019 onwards, CCI noted in an order dated February 28.
Abhiraj Associates said the decision was taken by Indian Railway Board as per the request of the Bangladesh Railway Board.
It further said Bangladesh Railway Board issued an order for boulders in September 2019, for which rakes were allotted to JHM International, which according to the complainant, is a Bangladesh-registered export company.
The complainant said "such an act on part of Bangladesh Railway Board shows its malafide and biased decision and the same is being implemented by OP/ Eastern Railways."
