Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Industries (RIL) has approached the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) against Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), with regard to the show-cause notices issued by the market regulator alleging irregularities in the share dealings of the corporate giant. RIL’s appeal against SEBI, which was earlier scheduled for admission on January 4, by SAT, has been adjourned for hearing to January 11.
SEBI has previously issued show-cause notices to the company in connection with the shares sale of its erstwhile subsidiary Reliance Petroleum (RPL) and allotment of shares to certain firms against warrants linked to privately placed debentures issued by the company.
SEBI which has been investigating for the past five years issued a show-cause notice to the Mukesh Ambani-owned company, back in December 2012, in what was seen as a precursor to a final order by the market regulator. The case involved allegations of short-selling of Reliance Petroleum shares, just ahead of the company's merger with RIL; the merger process was completed in 2009.
Reliance has previously attempted to settle the case through SEBI's consent mechanism, which allows for settlement of cases without admission or denial of guilt after payment of certain charges and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, if any. However, SEBI has turned off RIL's consent pleas on more than one occasion, reasoning the proposed payments being too less and on some other ground.
