In short, Kerala HC said no interference. Supreme Court affirmed it during an admission hearing. This is regular 26(1) stage shenanigans before a writ court that I have seen since 2012. Even if you bring the sectoral jurisdictional issues, that is as old as the PGNRB cases.
It is the CCI who is the main party defending a jurisdictional turf war, undoing the damage of constant misinterpretions of the Bharti judgement. The same thing has been pointed out repeatedly before in other cases and before other courts. The luck with the roster helps.
Even with a commercial lens, it got pushed to Kerala from Bombay after years. I am sure the investigation has been kept in abeyance. Was interim relief granted? So till now this has been a run around for Asianet. Now with settlements, if the parties smell a bad order, they can settle down the road. So this may not evolve into something precedent setting.
Ultimately, these are writ jurisdiction matters and not appeals. They are administrative in nature and barely involve competition law. A landmark case is one decided by the SC in India when you have statutory appeals. Most appeals are just parking matters in the SC pleading a legal issue already admitted for tagging.
Either ways its not like the SC registry remains a blackhole for competition cases. In abuse of dominance cases we still have not heard about NSE or DLF and its fast approaching two decades of distinguished and deliberate fumbling by all concerned. There are even judgements reserved never pronounced.
India is still figuring out the contours of competition law enforcement after 25 years. In less time than that the US made the Sherman Act, built schools of thought and decided to break up Standard Oil - that is 21 years from 1890 to 1911. Even the EU took just 16 years to get to the Conti Can. Competition law here is not serious. With this supposed landmark case we are still figuring out the basics of a rebate case.
Also, slightly arrogant of you to assume that you can crack SNAP easily. After XLRI and CAT, it's one of the toughest exams in India, also partly due to demand.
If I were you, I would definitely take NLUJ (over NUJS anyday) and work there to be at the top of the batch. Also keep in mind that dropping means losing one year that you could instead spend on gaining work experience post college - at the end of the days, our time here is finite.
This is primarily on account of pay disparity and job profile- as my job is a back end job not focus on core law

Wish you guys would inform yourselves and read up on tech before presenting your misinformed opinions in such an assertive manner.
I am a 2023 year law graduate and pursued litigation for over a year in Bombay. In 2024, due to personal reasons I went on a sabbatical. During my sabbatical, I decided to make a career switch from litigation to corporate/ in- house roles. However, due to lack of experience in the field, I decided to pursue my masters in corporate and finance law which is soon to be completed.
I am now looking for job opportunity in corporate law firms/ in- house firms in Bombay and willing to start afresh due to my experience. How should I go about it? Where can I possibly apply with such background? Are there any available opportunities?
Thank you!
But the deal came under fire from all sides of the House for failing to include UK services, especially legal services…

You like doing human things with humans. Focus on that. Don't let AI slop ruin your vibes.
For the anxiety thing, try a few minutes of meditation in the morning followed by pranayama or breathing exercises and yoga. This really helps. May sound like uncle advise, but it helps slowly and surely. If you still feel it's not helping or if your anxiety is interfering your day to day life, please see a mental health professional. Let the professionals give you solutions. Try Rockethealth or Amaha or other reputed online platforms if you can't visit physically or don't know who's good in your city. Internet can't fix your anxiety or your depression (get this formally diagnosed and treated please. It's a term thrown around recklessly).
Lastly, excercise at least 3x a week. Excercise gives you free anti-depressants. Don't discount the importance of this please.
Cheers and all the best.
