and interest free Security Deposit of Rs.74,00,00,000/- with an
understanding that after 3 years from execution of lease and payment of
Rs. 5 lacs, freehold rights of the property would be given to the
Company. By a separate Memorandum of Understanding dated 20th December,
2000 executed by and between the KFSL and the Company, GTB(now known as
OBC) and other companies it was agreed that the aforesaid Deposit of
Rs.74,00,00,000/- would be utilized for the repayment of the amounts
due and payable by the Company and of other companies to GTB and
Custodian and would be done within a week of receipt of 37(I)
permission as required then under the Income Tax Act 1962, which was
jointly applied and received on 21st December 2001. KFSL through their
Advocates had sent letter dated 02.01.2002 requesting GTB (now known as
OBC) to disburse the said amount as per the agreement and execute a
Lease Deed as approved and forwarded to KFSL by GTB (now known as OBC).
KFSL vide their Advocates letter dated 04.01.2002 instructed GTB (now
known as OBC) also confirmed to pay the balance amount on behalf of the
Company to Custodian appointed under the Special Court (Trial of
offences Relating to Transactions in Securities) Act, 1992 in repayment
of liability of the Company as Judgement Debtor and Guarantor for the
debts due to a notified party. But GTB (Now OBC) did not honour the MOU
and agreement and refused to complete the agreement. The Company could
not satisfy the guaranty given by the Company to the Custodian because
of non- disbursement of the said dues by GTB(now known as OBC). KFSL
and the Company were ready to execute the Agreement for mandating the
payment of deposit and Lease Deed as approved and sent by GTB, which
was also approved by the solicitors of KFSL. But GTB(now OBC) did not
honour the said MOU and the Agreement for which KFSL has filed a suit
in the High Court of Mumbai for specific performance of the Contract
and made a claim of Rs. 120 cr. which amount includes the interest upto
July 30, 2004. The suit is pending. The aforesaid lease land now
belonging to KFSL was originally held by the Company. It was sold to
Vysya Bank under a Sale Deed and under a broad understanding which was
arrived at between the Company and GTB now (OBC). Vysya Bank Ltd. had
leased it to KFSL under instructions of the Company. KFSL was acting
under the instructions of the Company. Moreover, GTB(now known as OBC
has in one of its Offer Letter for Issue of Shares to the Public has
accepted the aforesaid liability and has admitted it in the said Offer
Letter as Contingent Liability. In view of the above circumstances, the
Management is of the opinion that the amount of Rs.9.20 cr. is not
payable to GTB(now OBC), as it was agreed to be adjusted from the
deposit payable by GTB (Now OBC) as explained above.
