Real estate company DLF Ltd is once again under
Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) scanner.
The regulator CCI has ordered a probe against DLF
Ltd for abusing its dominant position
and imposing unfair conditions on buyers on a complaint by one Ashutosh
Bhardwaj, who had booked a flat in New Town Heights, Gurgaon.
The complainant said DLF Ltd had entered into a
non-negotiable apartment buyer’s agreement with him. He alleged that the
practices followed by DLF Ltd as a group were abusive of its dominant position
as it had imposed highly arbitrary, unfair and unreasonable conditions on the
allottee.
He also said that the agreement was heavily loaded in
favour of DLF Ltd. CCI said clauses of the agreement referred to in the current
matter were identical to the ones entered into by DLF Ltd in other abuse of
dominance cases that were already being probed.
The earlier cases are at different stages of
investigation by CCI’s Director General. The panel said, “considering the facts
of the case, the relevant market in the present case, prima facie, appears to
be same as determined in earlier three cases.”
CCI Ltd said, “as
such, the Commission is prima facie of the view that the present case requires
to be investigated into by the DG. Resultantly, the Commission orders under
Section 26 (1) of the Act to the DG to cause a detailed investigation in the
matter”.
