Order in the matter of Karvy Stock Broking Limited Page 3 of 6 4. Hon’ble SAT vide order dated November 29, 2019 disposed of the appeal inter alia directing as under:
Order in the matter of Karvy Stock Broking Limited Page 4 of 6 blanket restriction, as is being interpreted by the Depositories. Thus, if the directions at para 21(i), 21 (ii) and 21 (iii) of the interim order are to be read in harmony, the Depositories have been directed not to act upon any instructions in pursuance of the PoA, only to the extent of preventing further misuse of client securities. The direction at para 21 (ii) is not meant to restrict the use of PoA by KSBL to meet the daily pay-in obligations of those clients whose securities have not been alleged misused. By imposing a complete embargo on use of PoA, the Depositories have misinterpreted the spirit of the directions contained in the interim order and which in turn has resulted into tremendous hardship and losses for the clients of KSBL.
