The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay realty major DLF's plans to raise around Rs 12,000 crore by selling stakes in its rental properties.
In October, DLF had said that its board had approved plans to sell stakes in DLF Cyber City, which housed its rental assets, to reduce its debt.
Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had moved the apex court for interim relief barring the move. However, the bench headed by Judge J Chellameshwar was not convinced about the regulator's October 2014 order barring DLF and its top executives applying to these transactions, which are planned by other corporate entities related to DLF.
