Full text
2 brokers and clients had deliberately tried to establish a price in the scrip and maintained the price at specific level. These volumes were artificial, as only a set of few brokers and clients were involved throughout the trading in this scrip during the relevant period. Investigation Report further noted that during the relevant period, the broker along with other entities including Panna Agrofine Pvt. Ltd., Jaitra Estate Developers Pvt. Ltd. and Born Free Finance Pvt. Ltd. contributed 96% and 65% of the trading in the scrip at BSE and NSE respectively.
3 enquiry in terms of the Enquiry Regulations and found that the broker executed large number of synchronised transactions for its clients both on the buy side as well as on the sell side in the scrip of SIL and was instrumental in creating false and misleading appearance of trading in the scrip. The Enquiry Officer submitted report dated March 29, 2006 recommending a penalty of suspension of certificate of registration of the broker for a period of two years.
4 From the above, I am of the view that the broker is not interested in availing the opportunity of hearing and therefore I feel that no useful purpose would be served in giving further opportunity of hearing to the broker. Therefore, I am proceeding with the matter ex-parte on the basis of available records.
