Full text
Page 2 of 14 Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Noticee”) was one of the various entities which indulged in execution of reversal trades in stock options segment of BSE during the Investigation Period. Such trades were observed to be non-genuine in nature and created false or misleading appearance of trading in terms of artificial volumes in stock options and therefore alleged to be manipulative, deceptive in nature. In view of the same, SEBI initiated adjudication proceedings against the Noticee for violation of the provisions of Regulations 3(a), (b), (c), (d), 4(1) and 4(2)(a) of SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations, 2003 (hereinafter referred to as “PFUTP Regulations”).
Page 3 of 14 5. It was inter alia alleged in the SCN that the Noticee, through its trades, had indulged in creating artificial volume of 1,14,30,000 units through 61 non-genuine trades in 27 stock option contracts during IP.
Page 4 of 14 (d) All our transactions have been carried out on the floor of stock exchange. Undisputedly, in case of screen-based trading, the automated system itself matches orders on a price-time priority basis and hence it is not possible for anybody to have access over identity of counter party. Since counter party identity is not displayed; one can never have any choice with whom it wants to deal or not to deal. (e) No cautionary warning, advisory, communication or alarm was raised by BSE at any point of time. There was nothing in the public domain that there is anything amiss in the matter. In fact, with a fool proof and state of art surveillance system BSE could have annulled the trades at that point in time only in case it considered that the trades were fraudulent. However, this was not the case, which means that the trades executed by us were genuine and fair. (f) There has been no grievance by any investor, broker, stock exchange or any other agency concerned with respect to our dealing in the option segment of BSE Ltd.
