Supreme Court Reaffirms Fair Hearing, Quashes Grasim's ₹301.6 Crore Penalty

In a significant procedural victory for Grasim Industries, India's Supreme Court on Friday upheld an order by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) that had set aside a hefty ₹301.6 crore penalty imposed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
