Page 2 of 12 2. Investigation observed that BEPL made certain announcements pertaining to acquisition of Uniword Telecom Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “UTL”). These announcements prima facie appeared to be misleading. It was observed that before the announcements were made by the company the promoters of the company transferred the shares held by them in BEPL in physical form to certain entities. These entities in turn after dematerializing the shares transferred to other entities or sold in the market.

The Noticee along with other promoters held 2,53,10,000 shares as on September 30, 2004 which accounted for 25.31% of the paid up capital of BEPL. The Noticee transferred shares during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and as on quarter ending December 31, 2004, her holding became nil. The shares thus transferred were offloaded in the market. iii. Off-loading of the shares by the Noticee prior to the company giving false/misleading announcement/news shows that the Noticee was hand in gloves with the company in committing fraud. In view of the above it has been alleged that the Noticee has violated the provisions of regulations 3(a), 3 (c) and 4 (1) and 4 (2) (e) of the PFUTP and section 12A of SEBI Act.
