leniency application
Leniency application is like admission of guilt in a cartel; NCLAT upholds penalty imposed on United Breweries, Carlsberg and All India Breweries Association
NCLAT while deciding the issue of cartelisation by breweries observed that lesser penalty application indicates admission of guilt and held United Breweries, Carlsberg India Pvt. Ltd. and All India Breweries Association liable for cartelisation.
