SC quashes JioStar’s plea, allows CCI probe into abuse of dominance in Kerala cable TV market
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a plea filed by Reliance Industries-owned streaming platform JioStar seeking to halt a probe by the Competition Commission of India into allegations of abuse of its dominant position in the Kerala cable television market.
A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Sandeep Mehta said the matter is at a preliminary stage and the market regulator may be allowed to continue with its probe.
“Sorry. Let the regulator investigate. It is only at a preliminary stage. Dismissed,” the bench told senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for JioStar.
