MUMBAI: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Wednesday instructed the Bombay High Court it might not take any additional action on the summons issued by it to Essel Group Chairman Subhash Chandra in an alleged fund diversion case. Chandra had filed a petition earlier this month difficult the summons and had sought for it to be quashed.
The businessman’s counsel, Ravi Kadam, sought for your entire proceedings initiated by the Sebi to be quashed and argued that the capital market watchdog was going forward with the probe in a “predetermined” method.
A division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla on Wednesday permitted the Sebi to file its affidavit in reply to Chandra’s petition.
The regulator’s counsel, Mustafa Doctor, instructed the bench that for a interval of three weeks from as we speak (March 20), no additional action underneath the summons shall be taken.
“We accept the statement,” the bench stated and posted the matter for additional listening to on April 10. In January, the inventory market regulator had issued a number of summonses to Chandra.
