2 The rights issues opened for subscription on October 6, 1995 and closed on November 6, 1995. The issue was lead managed by M/s Hinduja Finance Corporation Ltd. and Canara Bank, Merchant Banking Division (hereinafter referred to as ‘HFCL’ and ‘Canbank’ respectively).
3 should have logically brought down the subscription of the equity rights issue from the 90.07% mentioned in the three day report. However, inexplicably, the final report showed the equity issue to be still having minimum 90% subscription, even after the withdrawal of applications amounting to 10% of the issue, by HFCL. Thus, it was clear that applications had been received after the closure of the issue, to make up for the deficit in meeting 90% subscription.
4 SHOW CAUSE NOTICE AND HEARING 9. In view of these findings of investigation, SEBI issued a notice dated August 30, 2002, to SCCL as well as SPML, its directors and associates, asking them to show cause as to why appropriate directions should not be issued against them under section 11B of SEBI Act, 1992 ( hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) read with Regulations 11 & 12 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to the Securities Markets) Regulations, 1995 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Regulations’) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines.
