Examining objections to the jurisdictional net for merger regulation under Indian competition law [Aju John]
Some sections of the Competition Act, 2002, which makes provision for some of the issues underlined by Whish, have come under scrutiny from industry. On behalf of Indian industry, a FICCI press release of February 13, 2008, pointed out a few problems with section 5 of the Act, arguing that not only would they slow down the competitiveness of the Indian economy, but were biased against Indian firms. After that, it was the 2008 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers that created a few ripples in the Indian media.

By amending the COTPA and trying to make the pictorial depiction of the skull and cross bones optional, the Government would take an unconstitutional decision to keep the public blind-folded and force many more innocent and illiterates to consume carcinogens which possibly could be avoided with the un-amended warning.
