However, he has learnt that a production house Mukesh Raj Films (MRF) has blocked the single screens and multiplexes theaters (“Exhibitors”) only for screening of their film for the same Diwali festival weekend. In fact Vijay Singh has also found out that MRF had earlier in the year during the Eid festival launched a blockbuster movie and during the negotiation for screening the said Film imposed a condition that he would grant rights to screen the movie only if he was provided with the exclusive rights to screen another movie during the Diwali Weekend. Therefore, MRF and Exhibitors had entered into a tie-in arrangement for exclusive exhibition of the films in Eid and Diwali Festival Weekend respectively. Thus, preventing Vijay Singh from exhibiting his film.

Vijay Singh has now approached the Competition Commission of India for relief.

a) Does the tie in-arrangement between MRF and the Exhibitors amount to having “adverse appreciable effects on Competition”. Please quote the relevant precedent to support your answer.

b) Please list out the penalties stated under the Competition Act, 2002 and atleast quote one instance where Competition Commission India has imposed penalty along with the brief description of such instance.
