Page 2 of 10 opened at the price of `0.95 (with face value of `1 per share) on November 01, 2001, touched `18 (with face value of `10 per share) on March 21, 2002 and closed at `10.70 on April 29, 2002. The investigations prima facie revealed that the sales, net profit and the total income of the company had reduced considerably for the year that ended in March, 2001, and the quarter that ended in September, 2001. It was revealed that a group of entities including M/s Rajesh N. Jhaveri (hereinafter referred to as ‘noticee’), a sub- broker, ASE Capital Market Limited bearing Registration no. INS 010949811 had traded significantly and created artificial volumes in the scrip by entering into circular/ fictitious transactions.
Page 3 of 10 dated January 20, 2011, recommending thereby a penalty of suspension for a period of one year for violating the provisions of Regulation 3, 4(b), 4(c), 4(d) and 6(a) of SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 1995 and Clause A(1), D(4) and D(5) of the Code of Conduct prescribed for the sub-broker under Schedule II read with Regulation 15 of the Broker Regulations.
Page 4 of 10 noticee is a registered intermediary with SEBI and the charges leveled against it are in its capacity as a sub-broker. Therefore, the argument of ‘double jeopardy’ is of no merit.
