Page 2 of 12 dealing in anyother manner in the shares of these companies, directly or indirectly. The directions issued vide order dated September 30, 2004 were confirmed vide order dated February 18, 2005.
Page 3 of 12 position was not sound with an objective to create investor interest in the scrip of SIL. It was alleged that Sh. Raj Kumar Basantani, Chairman, SIL fraudulently off loaded 25.69 lakh shares, amounting to 3.17% of the share capital of SIL between June 30, 2003 and March 15, 2004 without making the required disclosures. The SCN further alleged that during the period from December, 2003 to March, 2004, Raj Kumar Basantani was the major trading member on NSE and accounted for 23.98% of gross volumes in the scrip of SIL during this period. The related / connected entities of Raj Kumar Basantani (trading member and Chairman of SIL) and SIL viz., Manorama, Jasrani, Million, Structure, Jugnu, Patwa, Panna, Aravali, Kalbadevi and Mastermind had altogether sold about 104 lakh shares trading through the member broker Raj Kumar Basantani against the backdrop of false and misleading information regarding bonus issue. Accordingly, it called upon the Noticees to show cause as to why suitable directions under Sections 11B and 11(4) of SEBI Act, should not be issued against them. The Noticees were advised to file their written submissions within a period of 15 days of the receipt thereof. It was also informed that in case of failure, it would be presumed that they had no explanation to offer and SEBI shall be free to take such action in the manner as it deemed fit.
Page 4 of 12 advice that in absence of any reply to the SCN, the matter would be proceeded ex- parte. As the stipulated period mentioned in the publication has expired and no response has been received from any of the Noticees. I have seen the substituted service report and find that the principles of natural justice have been duly complied with, further it appears that the Noticees have concealed themselves and are not interested in submitting their stand in the present proceedings. In view of this, I am compelled to proceed with the matter ex-parte based on the material available on record.
