DLF UNIVERSAL LTD. vs DIR. GENERAL INVESTIGATION ®ISTRATION

The Supreme Court upheld the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission's order directing M/s DLF Universal Limited to execute a fresh lease deed in favor of Raj Kamal, citing violations of Section 2(o)(i) and Section 36A of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969. The Court found that the appellants engaged in unfair trade practices by failing to deliver possession of the allotted plot, which was already transferred to the educational trust. The judgment reinforced the obligation of developers to adhere to their commitments in lease agreements, particularly in the context of educational facilities.
