Page 2 of 6 (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to Securities Markets) Regulations, 2003 (hereinafter referred to as “PFUTP”) and therefore, liable for monetary penalty under section 15HA of Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (hereinafter referred to as “SEBI Act”).
Page 3 of 6 9. Considering the request of noticee, the matter was kept in abeyance for some time. However, the Adjudicating Authority has not received any intimation from the Noticee or the Board about initiation of consent proceedings and keeping the matter in abeyance.
Page 4 of 6 12. It is very evident from the manner of trading that the Noticee bought the shares at a lower price and immediately sold them at a much higher price, thereby earning profit. It is observed from the material on record that the Noticee had earned profit (Table II) in the trades he reversed. Such a pattern of trading cannot be justified by any reasoning. The Noticee has himself stated that he is a small, retail investor, but the trading pattern is quite unnatural for a retail investor. The Noticee cannot even take a plea of acting as Jobber. In fact, the reversal of trades in such short span is not a normal trading pattern at all. Further, I fail to understand that how a small investor can trade in a scrip in such a manner and can attribute this as normal course of trading.
