Telcos Lose Petitions Against CCP
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has upheld the Competition Commission of Pakistan's (CCP) authority to investigate deceptive marketing and anti-competitive conduct in the telecom sector.
The court dismissed petitions filed by major telecom operators, including Jazz, Telenor, Zong, Ufone, Warid, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), and Wi-Tribe, challenging the CCP's show-cause notices under the Competition Act, 2010.
The IHC ruled that show-cause notices are lawful, affirming the CCP's 'overarching' authority.
- Petitions were filed over several years and were combined for adjudication due to common questions of law.
- The CCP's jurisdiction to inquire into telecom sector issues has been upheld.
In summary: IHC upholds CCP authority over telcos.
