concerned Stock Exchange from 1996-97. No disclosure as required under regulation 8 (3) of the Takeover Regulations was made.
5.1 In view of the fact that CFIL has failed to submit any explanation to the said notice despite service of the same or to appear before me, I conclude that they have no explanation to offer in respect of the violations of the clauses of the listing agreement and in respect of the proposed directions under section 11B of SEBI Act, as mentioned in the show cause notices issued to them. The failure of the company to submit the reports, annual accounts and other reports and information to the stock exchange is in violation of the provisions of the Listing Agreement read with section 21 of Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. 5.2 Further, the vanishing of companies after raising moneys from the public is a matter of grave concern. These violations and the non-traceability of the companies of this kind are detrimental to the interest of investors and to the integrity of securities market. Besides they have also eroded the confidence of the investors and the credibility of the capital market, which calls for suitable preventive action. Therefore, it would be necessary in the interest of investors and for healthy development of the securities market, that companies such as CFIL and their directors who have vanished after raising money from the public should be prevented from accessing the capital markets again in future. Such a preventive step would protect the investors from being duped by such vanishing companies. The above measure would also help in restoring confidence
controlling or substantial interest shall not be allowed to raise funds from the capital market for a period of five years from the date of issue of this order.
