The dominant issue was whether the show-cause notices alleging insider trading were without jurisdiction and violative of natural justice. Interpreting the statutory scheme for appointment/delegation of adjudicatory functions, and applying the legislative intent recognised in Vijay Karia, the court held that only an officer of the rank of CGM or above could validly initiate such action; a DGM lacked competence, making the notices ultra vires and amenable to writ interference despite the usual restraint against entertaining challenges to show-cause notices.
