2. Royality on wood had been increased by the Government of Odisha
with retrospective effect from 1st April, 1988 vide its letter dated
2nd September, 1993 against which the Company had filed a writ petition
before the Odisha High Court. The Odisha High Court vide its order
dated 16th May, 1995 had upheld the writ petition of the Company.
Government of Odisha had filed a Special Leave Petition before the
Supreme Court. The Hon''ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 11th
November, 2003 has dismissed the special leave petition filed by the
Government of Odisha and upheld the decision of the Hon''ble High Court
of Odisha passed in favour of the Company. The Hon''ble Supreme Court
had also directed the Govt. of Odisha to implement the judgement of the
Hon''ble High Court of Odisha expeditiously and in any case within a
period of four months from the date of the order of the Supreme Court.
Subsequently, Government of Odisha has lodged a claim for Rs.303.49
lacs (net of excess amount of royalty paid by the Company in earlier
years) on the Company on account of alleged failure in taking up
replantation in the area harvested by the Company. This claim has been
denied by the company. In terms of the Supreme Court judgement, the
Company has lodged its claim with the Government of Odisha, the
monetary value of which is much higher in comparison to the claim
lodged by the Govt. of Odisha against the company, to honour its
commitments made to the Company as directed by the Hon''ble High Court
of Odisha and upheld by the Hon''ble Supreme Court. The Management is of
the view that no provision against the said demand is necessary, as no
liability is likely to arise on this account and Rs.81.04 lacs paid in
earlier year and included under advances recoverable has been
considered good of recovery.
3. Government of Odisha has issued Demand Notice for Rs.1070.72 lacs
towards Licence fees, Import fees, Excise Duty, Pass fees, Application
fees on import of Methanol into Odisha without obtaining licence from
competent authority from the year 2002-03 to 2008-09.
The Company, after obtaining licence from relevant authorities, has
challenged above demand on the ground that as methanol is imported from
other countries, provision of Odisha Excise (Methanol Alcohol) Rules
1976 are not applicable for use of Methanol as raw material.
The Company has obtained interim stay on above matter from the Hon''ble
High Court of Odisha at Cuttack on 20.11.08 for Rs.847.00 lacs &
Rs.223.57 lacs furnished under Indemnity Bond.
Pass fees paid for import of Methanol into Odisha amounting to Rs.
224.41 lacs for the year 2007-08, 2008-09,2009-10 , 2010-11 & 2011-12
has been shown as advance which is considered as good for recovery,
since the management is of the view that no liability is likely to
arise on this account in future.
4. Demand for Rs.27.32 Lacs against Delay Payment Surcharge from
Odisha State Electricity Board has not been accepted by the Company and
the matter is under dispute. However, as a matter of abundant caution
an equivalent amount has been provided for to take care of the
liability, if any, in this respect.

Board and accordingly information required under Accounting Standard-17
issued by Central Government is not applicable.

raw material for the Company''s main product- Medium Density Fibre
Board, the Company is engaged in plantation under various schemes on
the land owned by third parties. The Company''s role is to develop and
supply seedlings to such third parties. Since development of seedlings

Government.

in the year 1986, the Company had undertaken plantation in certain
Government land which is ready for harvesting. Despite consistent
follow up, the Government did not allow the Company to harvest the
plantation on the pretext that the Special Leave Petition filed by the
Government of Odisha was pending before the Hon''ble Supreme Court. The
Hon''ble Supreme Court had dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by
the Government of Odisha in the royalty matter, as referred to in Note
No.2 above. Since the Government of Odisha had not allowed the Company
to harvest the plantation done by the Company even after the dismissal
of Special Leave Petition filed by the Government of Odisha, the
Company had no alternative but to file a Writ Petition in the High
Court of Odisha seeking direction to allow the Company to harvest the
plantation done by the Company on its own cost on Government land and
also other stipulations relating to rate of royalty and weighment
norms. The Hon''ble High Court of Odisha had vide its order dated 8th
July, 2004, had without expressing any opinion with regard to merits of
the contentions raised by the company, disposed of the petition with a
direction to the Government of Odisha and its various officers to
dispose of the representations made to them strictly in accordance with
law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six
months. In compliance with the directions from the Hon''ble High Court
of Odisha, the Government has reiterated its claim for recovering cost
of plantation on 244.825 hectares. The Company has denied its liability
to any such claim.

inter-alia, in the State of Chhattisgarh in association with the forest

consideration of Rs. 73.38 lacs (Previous year Rs. 73.38 lacs) relating
to previous years along with interest will be received by the company
at the time of harvesting. Based on the legal opinion obtained by the
company, the same will be accounted for in the year in which the
plantation is harvested.

Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR), the Company is exempted
from payment of electricity duty on power consumed for a period of 10
