Additionally, SEBI was directed to sell the properties expeditiously, preferably within six months.

5. Lastly, the fifth issue concerns the appellants furnishing a list of other properties to SEBI for potential sale. They were directed to provide details of immovable and movable properties belonging to them and other group concerns within a specified timeframe.
