The Noticee has been compliant with all the regulations and will be more diligent in future. The spirt underlying any regulatory intervention by SEBI is to make the Noticee realize the mistakes and to adopt a corrective path in future dealings.

She is beneficiary of the crime. In absence of the informant all these acts are committed therefore she is part of conspiracy. c. The offence charged against the applicant (Nirmala) is certainly serious in nature. She has direct nexus with the alleged crime. In order to unearth the conspiracy her custodial interrogation is essential. She has not come before the Court with clean hands. Therefore, according to me, the applicant failed to make out the case for grant of anticipatory bail.
