MRTPC CANNOT ORDER ALLOTMENT OF PLOTS, SAYS SC

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) has no power to order a housing authority to allot a plot to an applicant. It can impose damages or order compensation to a person who complains against the authority for practicing unfair trade practice but it cannot order allotment of plots to the applicant. This power belonged to the civil court.
