SEBI is authorised to take evidence under Section 11C and the Securities Appellate Tribunal may conduct proceedings under Section 15U; both bodies possess procedural powers to receive and evaluate evidence in adjudicatory functions. Adjudicatory determinations must be founded on evidence brought on record through statutory investigative and adjudicatory processes; external enquiry reports not forming part of the Board's investigation or enquiry must not be relied upon.
