NEW DELHI- Monopolies Commission at a Dead-End

NEW DELHI Monopolies Commission at a Dead-End THE Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission has become more active after Justice J L Nain was persuaded to accept its chairmanship, after an interval of several months when it was without a chairman. It is now trying to dispose of cases referred to it by the government more speedily, justice Nain is also keen that the Commission should be more active in the held of restrictive trade practices, an area in which it enjoys greater initiative and which has not received much attention so far, So far the focus of attention has been on the Commission's role in the issue of industrial licences to big business houses. However, here the Commission's role has been limited by whether or not the government chose to refer particular cases for its opinion.
