Different service Charge

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 20 May 2011 This query is : Resolved
Respected Learned Members,

'A' and 'B' are two rival cable operators in same locality.
Monthly subscription fee for cable service fixed by the District Administration is Rs 210/- per month.
'A' has more than thousand subscribers whereas, 'B' has merely 100 plus.
Currently 'A' charges Rs 200/- monthly.
In order to attract/seize consumers from 'A', 'B' has reduced its fee from 200/- to 150/- (accruing loss)which 'A' can not afford.
Under this circumstance what 'A' can do to restrict 'B' from such illegal act under Monopoly & Restrictive Trade Practice Act/economic offences or any other relevant provision??? Kindly Help, it's urgent.

This is trade competition is good one to the viewers, i mean publics.. The district administration fixed as rupees 210. Its mean the maximum monthly charge should be below 210. Here a fixed as 200. B fixed as 150. A can't file any case against b. If its possible mean a can fixed the amount to 140. No one question it.

The fee prescribed by administration is always maximum from which some one should not charge directly or through indirect or hidden charges.

I can't find any monopoly or economic offence on the part of B in reduction of fee than the maximum fixed by the administration.

No violation of law. "A" should also extend this facility if he wishes to be in the competition.
