Page 3 of 14 Jan 16, 2004 and 55,000 shares on Jan 17, 2004. This is just around the time the announcements were made by GAL to the BSE. The scrip recorded very large volumes on 15th, 16th and 19th January 2004. It is observed from the investigation report that the promoters/ PAC transferred shares before the misleading announcements to several entities including the Noticee who thereafter sold the shares through market and off-market transfers. Noticee thus aided and abetted the promoters and PACs in the manipulation in the scrip of GAL. The Noticee was alleged to have violated the provisions of Regulations 4 (1), 4(2) (a), (b), (e) and (g) of the PFUTP Regulations.
