Holding
The redemption of units in the Impugned Debt Schemes by the Noticees while Noticee No. 1 was in possession of material non-public information constituted an 'unfair trade practice' under Regulation 4(1) of the PFUTP Regulations, 2003, but did not amount to 'fraud' under Regulation 2(1)(c) read with Regulation 3(a) or a violation of Regulation 4(2)(q). Disgorgement, monetary penalty under Section 15HA, and debarment were ordered against Noticee No. 1 and Noticee No. 2.
