Notes to the Consolidated Financial Results

5. Key Pending Matters:

1. (i) The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on a complaint filed by the Belaire/ Park Place owners association had passed orders dated August 12, 2011 and August 29, 2011 wherein the CCI had imposed a penalty of ₹ 630 crores on DLF Limited ("DLF" or "the Company") or, restraining DLF from formulating and imposing allegedly unfair conditions with buyers in Gurugram and further ordered to suitably modify the alleged unfair conditions on its buyers.

The said orders of CCI were challenged by DLF on several grounds by filing appeals before the Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT). The COMPAT, pending hearing and till final orders had granted stay on demand of penalty of ₹ 630 crores imposed by CCI.

COMPAT vide its order dated May 19, 2014 accepted the arguments of DLF that since the agreements were entered into prior to coming into force of section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002, the clauses of the agreements entered in 2006-07 could not be looked into for establishing contravention of section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002, however, COMPAT held that the Company is a dominant player in Gurugram being the relevant market and has abused its dominant position in relation to certain actions which is violative of Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 and has accordingly upheld the penalty imposed by CCI.

The Company had filed an appeal in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India against the order dated May 19, 2014 passed by the COMPAT. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India vide order dated August 27, 2014 admitted the Appeal and directed the Company to deposit penalty of ₹ 630 crores in the Court. In compliance of the order, the Company had deposited ₹ 630 crores with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and is continued to be shown as recoverable.

The Parties have requested for physical hearing of the matter before Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

1. An order has been passed by CCI on May 14, 2015, against one of the Subsidiary Company relating to New Town Heights Project where CCI has directed the Company to cease and desist in implementation of the terms and conditions of Apartment Buyer Agreement which is found to be unfair and abusive.
   No penalty has been imposed by CCI. The Subsidiary Company has filed an appeal before COMPAT against the said Order dated May 14, 2015 and appeals were dismissed by COMPAT. The Subsidiary Company against the order passed by COMPAT has filed an appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
   The appeals have been tagged with the main appeal (mentioned in Para-a(i) above) and to be listed in due course before Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Results

1. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company, one of its subsidiary and a joint venture company received judgments from the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana cancelling the sale deeds of land/removal of construction relating to two IT SEZ/ IT Park Projects in Gurugram admeasuring 49.05 acres. The Company and the subsidiary companies filed Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) challenging the orders in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
   The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India had admitted the matters and stayed the operation of the impugned judgments till further orders in both the cases.

Management believes that there is reasonable strong likelihood of succeeding before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in matters stated in point (a) and (b) above based on the advice of the independent legal counsels. Pending the final decisions on the above matter, no adjustment has been made in these consolidated financial results.

1. i) The Securities and Exchange Board of India ('SEBI') had issued a Show Cause Notice (SCN) dated June 25, 2013 under Sections 11(1), 11(4), 11A and 11B of the SEBI Act, 1992 ('the SEBI Act') read with Clause 17.1 of the SEBI (Disclosure & Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2000 ('DIP Guidelines') and Regulation 111 of SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 ('ICDR Regulations') inter alia alleging that the Company, some of its directors and its erstwhile Chief Financial Officer (CFO) while issuing its Red Herring Prospectus and Prospectus in 2007, had failed to ensure that the Offer Documents contained all material information which is true and correct, to enable the investors to make an informed investment decision in the Issue and actively and knowingly suppressed several material information and facts in the Offer Documents, leading to misstatements in the Offer Documents so as to mislead and defraud the investors in securities market in connection with the issuance of securities.

The Company filed its Reply to the aforesaid SCN denying the allegations contained therein. The Company participated in the personal hearings before the Hon'ble Whole Time Member of SEBI and thereafter filed written submissions in support of its case.

The Hon'ble Whole Time Member of SEBI however did not find favour with the position espoused by the Company and vide order dated October 10, 2014 restrained the Company, certain directors and its erstwhile CFO from accessing the securities market and prohibited them from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, in any manner, whatsoever, for a period of three years.

The Company and other persons aggrieved by the order dated October 10, 2014 filed appeals before the Hon'ble Securities Appellate Tribunal ('Hon'ble SAT'), which vide majority order dated March 13, 2015 allowed all the appeals and the order dated October 10, 2014 passed by SEBI was quashed and set aside.

Assailing the Hon'ble SAT's order dated March 13, 2015, SEBI filed a statutory appeal under Section 15Z of the SEBI Act against the Company before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. One of the petitioners, who had sought to intervene in the Company's appeal before the Hon'ble SAT, also filed an appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India against the SAT Order dated March 13, 2015. On April 24, 2015, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India admitted the appeals filed by SEBI and the petitioner against the Company and issued notice on interim application. No stay has been granted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in favour of SEBI and petitioner.

In October 2015, SEBI filed applications before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in some of the pending civil appeals seeking, inter alia, restraint on the Company, its promoters and/or directors from proceeding with the sale of 15,96,99,999 Cumulative Compulsorily
