Supreme Court denies SEBI's request for a six-month extension to complete Adani-Hindenburg probe

The High Court on Friday said that it will initially go through the report presented by the court-selected board of trustees and will then, at that point, choose whether to permit market controller SEBI's request looking for an expansion of time to finish the examination in the Adani-Hindenburg issue. The matter will be discussed further by the court on Monday, May 15. The break report presented by the previous Adjudicator for the nation's highest court Justice AM Sapre is in the library, as per a three-judge unique seat driven by Cheif Justice of India DY Chandrachud, however, they had the opportunity and willpower to understand it. In an appearance for SEBI, the CJI informed Specialist General Tushar Mehta, "We will go through the report and keep this application looking for an extension of time for orders on Monday."

During the concise hearing, Specialist General Tushar Mehta let the seat know that the examination is being finished however will require the additional opportunity to finish something similar and said, "We are here to help this court. We are looking into a few completely different 2016 transactions. Additionally, we wrote to the international organization. Additionally, I am requesting six months of extensive responsibility." Advocate Prashant Bhushan, who was representing a petitioner in the case, said that SEBI should at least disclose what it has done so far and objected to the extension of time. Bhushan also told the bench that SEBI is a member of the International Organization of Securities Commission, so it is easy to get information about international transactions from other countries.

The CJI responded, "It would not be proper at this stage to ask them to reveal what they have found in the investigation." in response to this. We'll see. However, we concur with you that they cannot continue forever. In its plea, SEBI asked for at least six more months to finish its investigation into the Hindenburg claims. However, the bench made it clear during the hearing that it would not extend the investigation by six months but might consider extending it by three months. "You complete your examination in 90 days and return to us. The CJI stated to the Solicitor General, "There must be rapidity." There is a regulatory failure," a second petitioner stated in opposition to the time extension.

This enraged the CJI, who stated, "You cannot stand here and say that there was a regulatory failure because whatever you say here affects stock markets." The committee was established to assert that there was a regulatory failure. Let's be accountable. Standing up and making allegations is simple. Recently, the top court had coordinated SEBI to explore specific parts of the issues brought up in a bunch of petitions before it, as a feature of its continuous examination. Failure to disclose transactions, manipulation of stock prices, and other violations of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules of 1957 were among the issues under investigation.
