The AT allowed the appeals, holding that the inter-scheme transfers (ISTs) undertaken by the AMC did not contravene applicable MF Regulations or the July 27, 2000 circular. The Tribunal found ISTs permissible, specific conditions in Schedule-VII and due-diligence processes were satisfied, reasons were recorded, and no fresh market purchases were made; there was no evidence of private gain, integrity breaches by trustees/AMC, or proven contravention of Para-6 or Para-8.
