outstanding dues towards the Debentures subscribed by them along with
interest @10% p.a. on such aggregate amounts from March 15, 2012 till
payment thereof. However, the Company has disputed and denied these
alleged defaults/recall notice, which in the opinion of the management
is not only barred by time but is also malafide and contrary to the
terms of the debenture subscription agreement. The Company has also
filed a Civil Suit before the Hon'ble Calcutta High Court inter alia
raising a claim of Rs. 2,910,000,000 against IDM on account of damages

customer M/s California Pacific Trading Corp., who had claimed
interest, damages and other compensation for materials supplied to them
by the Company in earlier years. The above claims were refuted by the

Court in US passed an order for payment of damages by the Company to
the extent of US$ 2,257,147, equivalent to Rs.112,857,429 plus interest

the single bench judge to hear the matter afresh and take into
consideration the CompanyÃs view. Although the company is contingently
liable to the extent of Rs.112,857,429 plus interest as stated above,

specific provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, would be given in the

surplus in the near future. Considering the above, these financial
statements have been drawn up as per the going concern assumption,
which is appropriate in the opinion of the management. No reference is
required to be made to BIFR where financial assets have been acquired
