CIC asks SEBI to make public names in Reliance Petroleum insider trading case

09 Nov 2012 Evaluate

The Chief Information Commissioner (CIC), country’s apex body monitoring the enforcement of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, has directed stock market regulator’s Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to make public names of entities that were allegedly involved in insider trading of shares of Reliance Petroleum (RPL) in November 2007.

The alleged case relates to the merger of RPL with Reliance Industries (RIL) and the short sale of shares in the former by entities related to the latter ahead of that amalgamation. According to various reports on the case the entities that short-sold RPL shares may have made profits in excess of Rs 500 crore.

Mukesh Ambani owned RIL and SEBI have been trying to reconcile the case through a so-called consent process, in which the individual or entity being investigated pays a fine and the regulator drops the case and also all charges of wrongdoing.

However, on November 6, following an appeal by Bangalore-based lawyer Arun Kumar Agrawal, chief information commissioner Satyananda Mishra passed an order mandating SEBI to disclose details of investigations or the consent order proceedings in the case, along with the identity of the entities involved in the short sale of RPL shares.

Reliance Petroleum (RPL), a Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Group company was set up to harness an emerging value creation opportunity in the global refining sector by Reliance Industries, one of the India's largest private sector company with a significant presence across the entire energy chain and a global leadership across key product segments.
