..... modifications were to be made in the said agreement by the allottees. The Commission in para 12.95 had observed regarding commencement of project without sanction/approval, increase in number of floors midway, increase of Floor Area Ratio(FAR) and density per acre(DPA), inordinate delay in completion and possession, forfeiture of amounts, etc. etc. The Commission found that the clauses of the agreement were biased in favour of DLF Ltd. In para 12.101, the Commission observed that certain clauses in the agreement gave DLF a sole discretion in respect of making changes in zoning plans, usage pattern, super area, carpet area and for alteration of structure and even a case of change of location of apartment and if a refund became due, no interest was payable by the builder. No rights had been given to buyers for raising objections. Even if the buyers had paid full amount, the builder could create mortgage on the property of the buyers for raising finance for its own purpose. DLF Ltd. inserted such clauses which made exit next to impossible for buyers. In case of delay by the builder, DLF Ltd. was to pay compensation of Rs. 5 per sq. feet per month equivalent to about 1% per annum inter .....

..... all requisite clearances which it had obtained at the time of entering agreement. It was also expected that it shall state the cost of the product/service to the buyers with no hidden and indirect charges and it shall also clearly lay down the delivery schedule stage wise. It was also expected that one sided clauses shall be suitably modified so as to remove the abuse of dominance. 3. Against 12.8.2011 decision of the Commission, DLF preferred an appeal before Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT). COMPAT vide its order dated 29/03/2012 remitted the matter, along with the draft modified terms & conditions submitted by the parties, to the Commission directing the Commission to pass an order under section 27(d) specifying the extent and manner in which the terms and conditions of the Agreement need to be modified. Further, COMPAT in its order dated 21.05.2012 observed that in order to carry out suitable modifications in terms and conditions of the Agreement, it would be imperative to first determine the manner and extent of such modifications in terms of the order dated 12.08.2011 and only then such modifications could actually be carried out. It was further observed that the dir .....

..... /stopping abuse of dominance and to indicate the extent and manner of modification of an agreement governing their inter se rights and obligations. 6. The main Act which governs development of group housing colonies by a coloniser in Haryana is the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 (Act of 1975) coupled with the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Area Rules, 1976( Rules of 1976). Under section 3 of the Act of 1975, an owner of land desirous of converting it into a colony /group housing, can make an application to the Director, Town & Country Planning, Haryana(the Director) for grant of a licence to develop it as such. All the provisions of the Act of 1975 and the Rules of 1976 are, therefore, applicable, whenever a group housing colony like the one which is subject matter of this case is sought to be developed in the State of Haryana. Apart from this, after the development of group housing, all the residential units are to be transferred to the allottees under the Haryana Apartment Ownership Act, 1983 (Act of 1983) and thus this Act and Rules thereunder are also equally applicable to the builders as well as to the apartment owners. Since the Grou .....

..... 76, the builder after development of roads, drainage, sewage, water supply and electricity inside the colony has to maintain it only for a period of five years or till the association of plot owners takes the responsibility and release the builder of the maintenance responsibility. Similarly, the builder is supposed to pay EDC proportionate to the area of the colony/dwelling group housing unit to the Govt. for development of main lines of road, drainage, sewage, water and electricity. A builder is to give undertaking to construct, at his own cost or get constructed by any institution or individual, schools, hospitals, community centres and community buildings on the land set apart for this purpose or undertake to transfer to the Govt. or the local authority, free of cost, at any time, such land earmarked for constructing community buildings.(in case they are not constructed) and the Govt. would be at liberty to transfer such land to any persons or institution.  (vii) It is specifically provided under the Act and the Rules that the internal development of the colony shall include markets, road and paved foot paths and properly turfed open spaces with plantation of trees, stree .....

..... statutory taxes. In case the net profit exceeds 15% after completion of the project, the surplus amount either has to be deposited with the State Govt. treasury within two months of the completion or he has to spend this money on further amenities /facilities in the colony for the benefit of residents.  Further, the Act of 1983 was enacted to provide for ownership of individual apartments and make ownership rights as transferable for the promotion of group housing in the State of Haryana. As per Section 5 of the Act, owner of every apartment, as defined in the Act, is required to execute and get registered a conveyance deed. 'Apartment' in the Act of 1983 has been defined in section 2(a) as a part of a property intended for any type of independent use, as may be prescribed, with a direct exit to a public street, road or highway or to a common area leading to such street, road or highway. 'Apartment owner' has been defined as the person or persons owning an apartment and having undivided interest in the common areas and facilities in the percentage specified and established in the declaration. 7.1 Under the Act of 1983, 'common areas and facilities', .....

Open to sky-parking area or stilted portion usable as parking space was not garage within the meaning of Section 2(a-1) of the Act and not sellable independently as flat or along with flat. However, promoter was entitled to charge price for common areas and facilities from each flat purchaser in proportion to carpet area of flat. Further, the Act mandated the promoter to describe common areas and facilities in advertisement as well as agreement with flat purchaser and indicate price of flat including proportionate price of common areas and facilities. Stilt parking space could not cease to be a part of common areas and facilities merely because promoter had not described the same as such in advertisement and agreement with flat purchaser. Promoter had no right to sell any portion of such building which was not 'flat' within the meaning of section 2(a-1) of the Act. He had no right to sell stilt parking spaces as these were neither flat nor apartments or attachment to flat. Hon'ble Supreme Court also observed in this Judgment that the rights arising from the Agreement signed under the MOFA between the promoter and the flat p .....

..... e agreement was confined and limited in its scope only to this Group Housing Complex (Belaire) to be constructed by the company on the portion of land delineated in Annexure I and IA of the agreement. However, neither Annexure I nor I A gives the area of land of Belaire Complex, nor the area of 6.67 acres given in agreement is in conformity of FAR norms.  Every Group Housing Scheme/Complex has to comply with all Rules and Regulations in respect of Group Housing Complex. These Rules and Regulations are mandatorily required to be followed by the coloniser/ builder. The recitals have been framed in such a manner as if the company was not bound by the Rules and Regulations concerning Belaire Group Housing Complex and only allottee was bound by the Acts, Rules and Regulations. The rights vested in the allottees cannot be taken away by DLF unilaterally as mentioned in the recitals of the agreement. The Commission consider that the recitals be modified as given in the annexed modification. The reference to phase V be limited only for information purpose. The layout plans etc. should refer to Belaire Project. The recitals should specify title of company over project level and obtaini .....

..... nable and all such clauses in the agreement put by the company giving it a claim/ right over the open areas/ common areas, etc. amounted to abuse of dominance and this abuse can be removed by modifying the abusive clause and providing in the agreement about the obligation of the company to abide by the Laws, Rules and Regulations as applicable to a Group Housing Complex. It would be worthwhile to mention that for making a Group Housing Complex, the maximum FAR applicable in 2009 was 175%. The restriction on number of storeys /floors was, however, removed. The company on removal of this restriction raised the height of the building from 19 floors to 29 floors using the same footprint and same Belaire area. However, since the FAR was only 175%, the land area/open area for the Complex would have to be commensurate with total super area of all the apartments in all 29 floors. As per the calculations made by the informant, which have not been disputed by the company (and the company has not come up with its own calculations) the total land area on which the Bellaire Complex of 29 floors could be constructed as per FAR was 20.885 acres. 14. The allottees of Belaire Complex jointly would .....

..... pay additional amount or accept the reduction in area. When the construction of a multi storey building is envisaged, the plans are drawn on drawing board. Most of the group Housing Complexes are sold on the basis of the plans drawn on drawing board. Super area and the actual apartment area are two different concepts. The apartment area is the area which is exclusively enjoyed by the apartment owner. It includes carpet area plus area under the walls of the apartment, while super area is the sum of apartment area and common areas which the allottee enjoys along with other apartment owners. This area is inclusive of lift area, staircase area and other entrance areas, etc. Most of the times, the actual building and the drawing board plans match with each other and the building is constructed in accordance with the construction plan as approved by authorities in advance. However, there may be instances where at the time of actual construction, certain minor changes are required to be made in some of the drawing board plans and the building is constructed slightly different from the drawing board plan but it, more or less, conforms to the drawing board plan. In such a case, there may be .....

..... p in air by increasing the number of floors and reserving to itself terrace rights. This is totally contrary to the law and imposition of this condition on the allottee by DLF is because of its dominance and amounts to gross abuse. All relevant clauses depriving allottee of his lawful rights need to be modified to bring them in conformity with Law, Rules and Regulations so as to remove the abuse vis-a-vis the allottee. Modified clauses are given in the table below. 18. In the order, the Commission observed that the covenant in clause 1.7(viii) of the agreement, giving right to DLF of having full and absolute rights in the community buildings/sites/recreational and sporting activities sites including maintenance of those, was abusive.  As per applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations discussed above, site for community buildings are compulsorily required to be set apart by the coloniser and these sites, if not constructed either at the cost of coloniser or if not handed over and constructed by others, were to be given to the Govt. of Haryana, free of cost. This simply shows that the cost of these sites is recovered from the Allottees and clause 1.7(viii) makes a false representa .....

..... iven in the table below. 19. In the order, the Commission observed that DLF's sole discretion to link one project to another was abusive in nature. Interlinking of projects for the purpose of mobility of residents and for ingress egress is one thing, but interlinking projects for any other purpose without giving equivalent rights to allottee is altogether different. When Belaire Complex apartments were agreed to be sold to allottees, the FAR was 175%. If, in future, FAR is increased, only owners of apartments will have collective right to use or not to use increased FAR and the company cannot club the project with its other projects for this purpose. Accordingly, different clauses of the agreement need to be modified and reference to phase V need to be deleted. It should be retained only where rights of allottees are not adversely affected. The modified clauses 1.9 & 1.10 are given in table below. 20. In the order, the Commission observed that clause 1.11 of the agreement was abusive. EDC is charged by Government for development of main lines of roads, drainage, sewage, water and electricity. EDC is proportional to the land area of the project and may be linked with number of .....

..... to continue with the service providers engaged by the company or to enter into fresh contracts with some service provider or engage new service provider. Also since the Company marketed and sold Belaire Complex as govt. approved residential project and govt. charging heavy amount as EDC, providing of DHBVN connection by the state is mandatory and the company has to ensure DHBVN connection for each allottee. The relevant clauses 1.13 and 1.14 be modified as suggested in the table. 22. In the order, the Commission found clause 4 of the agreement abusive as it provided arbitrary forfeiture of earnest money by the company without even a notice to the allottee. The company provided for forfeiture of amounts of allottee for non- fulfillment of the conditions of agreement by the allottee, but there is no corresponding clause in respect of non-fulfillment of clauses of agreement on the part of company. Clause 5,8,10 and 12 of the agreement are highly one-sided and should be modified. Modified clauses are given in the table below. 23. The delivery of possession of the apartment by the company is governed by clause 10 and clause 11 of the Agreement. However, clauses 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and c .....

..... m the expiry of the said period of three years or extended period of terminating the agreement. Even in that event the company was not liable to refund the amount deposited by the allottee along with interests to him. In such an eventuality, the company on receipt of notice, was at liberty to sell/dispose of the apartment to any other party and without accounting for the sale proceeds of the apartment to the allottee within 90 days of the realisation of the price was to refund to the apartment allottee his amount without interest, after deduction of brokerage paid by the company to the broker/sale organiser (in case booking was done through broker /sale organiser) the allottee thereafter could make no claim against the company. If the allottee failed to exercise his/her right of termination within the period as provided in this clause by delivering a written notice to the company then he was not to be entitled to terminate the agreement and was to continue to be bound by the terms of the agreement. In similar way, clause 11.4 provided that in case of abandonment of the project/scheme by the company or if the company failed to give possession within three years of the execution of t .....

..... ve. 24. Clause 13 is regarding execution of conveyance deed in favour of apartment allottee who has paid full consideration amount to company. The transfer of ownership has to be in accordance with the Act of 1983. However, clause is totally one sided putting no obligation on company to execute the conveyance deed once stamp duty papers are sent to the company after paying entire price as per the agreement. Clause 14 of the original agreement is concerning maintenance and it does not recognise the right of allottees to manage the common services of the complex through RWA, as provided in the Act of 1983. Clause 13 & 14 can be made non abusive by suggested modifications given in table below. 25. In para 12.90, the Commission observed that under the agreement DLF had sole authority to make addition and alteration in the building with all benefits flowing to DLF and the allottee having no say in this regard. The abusive provisions are contained in clauses 20, 22 and other clausesof the agreement, excerpts of which were re-produced in the main order of 12th August, 2011. Clause 20 gives unfettered right to company to make any addition, alteration, improvements, repair whether structu .....

..... lottees over common areas and land and the apartment ownership rights of the allottees go together. The company cannot take away these rights from the allottees. Once the company had utilized FAR available at the relevant time in respect of the land over which the complex is to be developed, any subsequent increase in FAR would belong to the allottees and not to the company and it is only the allottees association which will have right to put additional construction with consent of all the allottees. The company shall have no right to have additional construction if subsequently FAR is increased. As such, clause 20 & clause 22 and other such clauses are highly abusive, should be modified as suggested in the table. 28. In para 12.90, the Commission had observed that creation of 3rd party rights by the company without allottees consent was to the determinant of allottees interest and was abusive. A reference was made to clause-23 of the agreement. Clause 23 of the Agreement gives right to the company to raise finance, loan for its own purpose from any financial institution, bank by way of mortgage or creating charge over the building/apartment/portion of building or by any other mod .....

..... ayed payment. While in case of company, the company for itself has reserved so many excuses for non delivery of possession and for scrapping the contract altogether or for delaying the project. It has given itself the powers to extend the period of delivering possession but for the allottee, the sole discretion lies with the company to cancel the flat in case of delayed payment. In case of condoning delay, the Company could be charging interest to the tune of 15% for 1st 90 days and thereafter 18%. However, for the default of the company, the company was liable to pay only 9% interest to the allottee on only such amount which the company deemed refundable to the allottee. That makes the clause abusive, one sided and shows blatant abuse of dominance. In clause 12, the company has given events of defaults and consequences for the allottee. The company has nowhere given in the entire agreement the events of defaults for itself. The Commission considers that the defaults can be on the part of the company as well on the part of the allottees and the agreement should provide for defaults of both the parties and the agreement must be equitable in dealing with both the sides and levy of in .....
