Page 3 of 12 local newspaper “Sakal” published in Marathi on April 10, 2010 about the SCN requiring the Noticee or its authorized representative to collect the SCN from the office of Adjudicating Officer. It was also mentioned in the said notification that if the Noticee failed to reply to the SCN within 14 days from the date of publication, it shall be presumed that the Noticee does not have any reply to submit and the matter would be further proceeded ex- parte. The press notification was issued as a substitute service, for the Noticee. The copy of SCN was also uploaded on SEBI website i.e. www.sebi.gov.in. However, I find that the Noticee neither collected the SCN nor replied to the SCN.
