shares on NSE which gets demonstrated by the fact that ASL had ensured before selling the shares to take the physical delivery of shares and same were in fact delivered to NSE in pay-in. This in no way mean that ASL has indulged in any act, which is calculated to create a false or misleading appearance of trading on the securities market. The fact that shares had thin volume prior to large volume in itself does not prove any fraudulent trading, specially in view of the fact that shares of KOL were admitted for trading in October 1996 only. To the best of his knowledge and information, undertaking the matched transaction is not illegal. The very fact that he took the decision of extending funding of Rs.90 lacs and Rs.150 lacs to Kinglet process that it was his sincere and honest intention to ensure that Kinglet does not default under any circumstances and hence there is no loss to National Security Clearing Corporation (NSCC). With this precise intention in mind Shri Milan Shah sought the permission of NSE to square-off the sale position in vallan no.18 even at the risk of loss of Rs.240 lacs to ASL and facing the consequences of such loss. It is KCS who committed breach of agreement of not depositing the amount of Rs.150 lacs with NSE. He further submitted that if at all there was any collusion and/or attempt to defraud NSCC, it was a collusion between Shri Rakesh Sheth (RS) and Shri Kirit C Shah (KCS) and he was at the receiving end and made party to the scheme of arrangemen
Investigations conducted by SEBI further revealed that the trading activity in the scrip of KOL in Settlement No.17 & 18 was collusive wherein buying and selling entities put trades with prior understanding of quantity, rate and time of putting up buy and sell orders which ensured that the order matched with the other party and resulted in trade. The shares so sold by one set of entities were picked up by specific set of other entities only which established that the trades were circular in nature.
his buying obligation within the pay-in-day in settlement No.17, and hence Kinglet in turn failed to meet its pay-in liabilities. In these circumstances, Shri Milan Shah took the decision of extending funds to the tune of Rs.1.50 crores to Kinglet in order to enable Kinglet to meet their pay-in liability to NSE. This amount was disbursed from the bank account of Anagram Finance Ltd., to the account of Anagram Securities Ltd. and then to the account of Kinglet with HDFC Bank. However, Kinglet did not deposit this amount of Rs.1.50 crores with the NSE settlement account and used for meeting Kirit Shah’s other loans. The fact that Kinglet was not able to meet its pay-in liability for Settlement 17 towards purchase of shares of KOL and Anagram extended additional funds to the extent of Rs.1.50 crores to Kinglet towards this shows that Shri Milan Shah was aware that Rahil Investments were selling from the counter of Anagram and buying from the counter of Kinglet. Anagram stated that these decision were taken by Shri Milan Shah without the knowledge of the then Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Anagram Finance Ltd. (Shri Satish Nadkar) or the promoters (Lalbhai group). It is surprising how Shri Milan Shah gave additional funds to Shri Kirit Shah/Rahil Seth when large dues were still outstanding and without giving a thought as to how Shri Kirit Shah and Shri Rahil Seth would repay these amounts when the earlier amounts were yet to be recovered.
