The COMPAT order had come after Meru Travels Solutions

had approached the tribunal against CCI's decision. COMPAT had directed CCI's probe unit Director General (DG) to conduct a fresh probe into the allegations of abuse of dominance and anti-competitive practices by Uber.

It had also asked CCI to pass an appropriate order on receipt of a probe report after giving opportunity to all the parties to file their reply or objection and affording them opportunity of personal hearing.

As per the complaint, Uber had allegedly resorted to many practices with the sole intent to establish its monopoly and eliminate otherwise equally efficient competitors from the market by way of discounts and incentives.

CCI in February last year had rejected Meru's complaint, saying inability of existing players to match the innovative technology of any player or the model created for operating in a particular industry cannot be said to be creating entry barriers in itself.
