The Delhi High Court has held that the scope of the investigation conducted by the DG-CCI on directions received u/s 26 of the Competition Act is not limited to the prima facie opinion expressed by the CCI. Concurring with the submissions made by CCI, the court held in light of CCI v. Steel Authority of India Limited that "opinion formed by the CCI at the stage of issuing directions to the DG under Section 26 (1) of the Act is, by no means, intended to restrict the opinion that may be formed by the DG on such investigation".
