Competition Commission orders DLF to 'cease and desist' from anti-competitive ways

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Tuesday directed realty major DLF to "cease and desist" from indulging in anti-competitive practices with regard to flats sold in its Belaire project. In 2011, CCI had imposed a penalty on DLF in another case related to the same project and the order was later challenged by the company before the competition appellate tribunal. CCI said in Tuesday's order it was not imposing a fresh penalty as fine of Rs 630 crore had been slapped. In a separate case, the commission rejected a complaint from DLF City Club Members Welfare Association that alleged the developer of abusing dominant position in running clubs at the residential colonies.
