Delhi HC: CCI files reply, Madison to rejoin; new petition challenges regulator's powers

• Delhi High Court listed Madison Communications' challenge against a CCI investigation for January 19.
• Madison filed a second writ petition challenging the constitutional validity of Sections 46 and 47 of the Competition Act.
• A Division Bench issued notice to the Union of India and CCI regarding Madison's new petition, with the next hearing on January 8.
• CCI clarified its actions were legal and committed not to summon Madison executives until after the January 8 hearing.
• Madison seeks to quash CCI's prima facie order and a search/seizure operation, alleging the DG exceeded its remit.

Why It Matters: This legal challenge could limit the CCI's power in future investigations.
