I have carefully perused the charges levelled against the Noticees as per the SCN, replies submitted by them and the material as available on record. The issues that arise for consideration in the present case are: (a) Whether the Noticee No. 1 has violated the provisions of Regulation 13(6) of the PIT Regulations? (b) Whether Noticee Nos. 2 and 3 have violated the provisions of Regulation 13(4A) read with Regulation 13(5) of the PIT Regulations? (c) Do the violations, if any, on the part of the Noticees attract any penalty under Section 15A (b) of the SEBI Act, 1992? (d) If yes, what should be the quantum of penalty?

It was observed that the Noticee No. 2 had made the disclosures to the Noticee No. 1 on June 01, 2013 under the PIT Regulations.
