Page 3 of 4 Enquiry Officer. The sub broker was also required to submit its reply within 15 days from the date of receipt of the show cause notice. In case of failure, it was informed that SEBI would take action as deemed fit. The said show cause notice was served on the sub broker. A reminder dated March 31, 2009 was also issued to the sub-broker by registered post with acknowledgement due. The said letter was acknowledged by the sub-broker. Further, a copy of said reminder was also delivered to the sub-broker through the regional office of SEBI at Ahmedabad. The sub-broker received the same on May 27, 2009. In spite of receiving the show cause notice and the reminders, the sub-broker failed to submit its reply. The sub broker also failed to avail the opportunity of hearing granted to it on July 22, 2009 even though the hearing notice was delivered on the sub-broker on July 06, 2009.
Page 4 of 4 Tribunal or in any other forum. As an intermediary registered with SEBI, it is the bounden duty of the sub broker to comply with the orders of SEBI as well as that of the Adjudicating Officer, unless the same is set aside by the appellate courts. In the present case, the sub broker deliberately failed to pay the penalty. From its conduct, it can be inferred that the sub broker deliberately distanced itself from all the proceedings. It is noted that it had failed to appear before the Adjudicating Officer also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not have any reason to disagree with the finding and the recommendation of the Enquiry Officer. Accordingly, the present proceeding is disposed of as ordered herein below.
