The company had filed the complaint -- pertaining to alleged anti-competitive practices in the digital cinema exhibition market -- which was rejected twice by Competition Commission of India (CCI).
Last week, Competition Appellate Tribunal (Compat) had set aside the CCI's decision to reject a complaint of alleged unfair business ways made against US-based Digital Cinemas Initiatives LLC, a joint venture, and its six stakeholder partners. They are The Walt Disney Company India, Fox Star
"We welcome this positive move. With the review, we hope that CCI will take the necessary steps as per the directives of tribunal to help players like us to operate seamlessly and provide a platform to all competing players to mutually operate in the market," KSS Digital Cinema Ltd's CEO Rahul Kanani said in a statement.
If implemented, it would further help to increase the distribution of Hollywood movies in Indian market, he added.

In a strongly-worded order dated November 9, Compat said CCI "committed serious error by declining to order an investigation".
"Rationally speaking, it would have saved time and efforts of all those involved in this matter if the Commission had ordered an investigation by the director general instead of once again more or less reiterating its earlier views," the Tribunal said in the order.
Compat said the "impugned order is set aside and the Director General is ordained to conduct investigation into the allegations contained in the information filed by the appellant (K Sera Sera)".
