The Supreme Court of India rejected SEBI’s appeal on Monday regarding a case linked to share manipulation in Reliance Petroleum’s stocks from 2007. This came after the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) had overturned SEBI’s previous order, which had fined Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries, ₹25 crore.
Justices JB Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan noted that there was no legal basis for SEBI’s appeal against SAT’s decision, and they emphasized that the long-running litigation should be concluded.
The court also agreed that the case against Ambani should be closed. However, SEBI’s appeal against Reliance Industries will still be heard on December 2.
The fine was related to alleged irregularities in the buying and selling of Reliance Petroleum shares in both the cash and futures markets in November 2007. SAT dismissed the conclusion of the adjudicating officer, who had claimed that Ambani had prior knowledge of the alleged manipulative trades within Reliance Industries.
SEBI’s order had pointed out that both parties were aware that funds given to a third party, Vinamra, were intended for the alleged manipulative transactions.
