    <title>Stock-exchange disciplinary action and board composition challenge: writ maintainable, arbitration objection rejected, March 15 board decision set aside</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=96011</link>
    <description>Writ jurisdiction and maintainability: the court held stock-exchange regulatory infractions affecting business rights are examinable under Article 226 and the writ petition is maintainable; absence of an application under s.8 does not bar the writ court-outcome: petition proceeded. Arbitration/arbitrator eligibility: executive director of the exchange is ineligible under s.12 and schedule disqualifications, so arbitration clause did not oust writ jurisdiction-outcome: arbitration objection rejected. Merits: no separate SCN requirement and adequate opportunity was afforded, and alleged natural-justice breach failed the prejudice test-outcome: substantive findings upheld. Board composition: the March 15, 2022 decision was taken by an unlawfully constituted Board lacking shareholder directors and is set aside. - HC</description>
