Adjudication Order in respect of M/s Jaypee Capital Services Limited. Page 2 of 16 2. The investigations revealed that three brokers viz., Jaypee Capital Services Limited (hereinafter referred to as 'the Noticee), Indiabulls Securities Limited and Galaxy Broking Limited accounted for 40% of the gross purchase and 70% of the gross sales. The Noticee along with other brokers had traded in the scrip of MCL on behalf of its clients wherein it had purchased 5,79,173 shares (19.50%) and sold 2,80,242 shares (9.44%). The Noticee also traded in its own account wherein it has bought and sold 850 shares. The Noticee has mainly traded for three clients' viz., Shri Ramasudhkaran Menon, Shri Rajender Kumar Adhukia and Shri Akhilesh Kamal Prasad Mishra. The investigation reveals that the Noticee placed 151 buy orders at the subsequent higher prices than the last traded price which led to the increase in the price of the scrip from Rupees 78 to Rupees 242. The Noticee was asked to comment on these buy orders during the investigation and it replied stating it was entirely client's choice and decision to place orders in the scrip. It appeared from the above that the Noticee had allegedly failed to exercise enough due diligence and precaution and entered into manipulative trades. The noticee also had allegedly influenced the price of the scrip by putting the buy order at higher prices.
