Page 3 of 4 would not require any further opportunity of being heard, hence I proceeding further with the matter. 7. I have carefully considered the Enquiry Report, the SCN issued to the noticee and the reply. Of the three charges against the noticee, the Enquiry Officer has opined that charges of violation of Regulation 4 of PFUTP Regulations and the Broker Regulations are not established as there is no material available in the show cause notice to prove that noticee which was an independent artificial juridical person was having membership in the name of M/s S.P. Rakhecha & Co. on CSE. I tend to agree with the views of the Enquiry Officer. I note that the noticee has not denied that it had never dealt through the broker Nirmal Bang Securities Pvt. Ltd. as sub-broker without registration.

It is pertinent to note that, SEBI vide circular dated January 15, 2001 advised the stock exchanges to inform the stock brokers that their sub-brokers are permitted to start business only after clearance and receipt of registration certificate from SEBI. In view of these, the noticee was not supposed to act a sub-broker without obtaining registration from SEBI.
