Moreover, this does not in any way throw light upon the fact that the Exit providers and the Preferential Allottees were hand in glove with each other. i. If he would've in fact had any nexus with the Promoter Related Entities or the Exit Providers, he wouldn't have sold just a part of his share holding in the scrip of the company. Instead he would've, like any other prudent person who was to possess a nexus, sold his entire share holding in the scrip of the company, thereby maximizing his profit. j. The price at which he sold his shares was rarely near to the highest price for that particular trading day. In fact, on most days, his selling price is very close to the lowest price for a given trading day. Therefore, had it been the case that he was colluding with other entities to artificially increase the price and the volume, he would have sold the shares at the highest market price to gain maximum profits.

The fact that Pine was making a preferential allotment came to knowledge of the client by a charted accountant who hailed from Rajasthan. At that time he was looking to make an investment in a scrip. Therefore, he thought it as a good investment opportunity. On being shown the presentation on the operations of the company and on being assured about the soundness of the investment, he decided to invest in the company through the preferential allotment e. On the completion of the one year lock in period, the scrip witnessed a significant rise in its price. On witnessing the then prevalent trend in the scrip, he chose to sell a few of the total shares held by him in the scrip, thereby making a desirable and an entirely legal profit. He was unaware about any alleged scheme employed by the company or any other investor, until the said order was served upon him. f.

.... taken are of an interim nature pending investigation or enquiry. Ad-interim orders may always be made ex-parte and such orders may themselves provide for an opportunity to the aggrieved party to be heard at a later stage. Even if the interim orders do not make provision for such an opportunity, an aggrieved party have, nevertheless, always the right to make appropriate representation seeking a review of the order and asking the authority to rescind or modify the order. The principles of natural justice would be satisfied if the aggrieved party is given an opportunity at the request. " 18. Thus, considering the facts and circumstances of a particular case, an ad-interim ex-parte order may be passed by SEBI in the interests of investors or the securities market. It is pertinent to note that the interim order in the present case was passed under the provisions of sections 11(1), 11(4) and 11B of the SEBI Act. The second proviso to section 11(4) clearly provides that "Provided further that the Board shall, either before or after passing such orders, give an opportunity of hearing to such intermediaries or persons concerned". Further, various Courts, while considering the aforesaid ....

....isional hearing can be a substitute for pre-decisional hearing. It is a settled law that unless a statutory provision either specifically or by necessary implication excludes the application of principles of natural justice, the requirement of giving reasonable opportunity exists before an order is made. The case herein is that by statutory provision, principles of natural justice are adhered to after orders are passed. This is to achieve the object of SEBI Act. Interim orders are passed by the Court, Tribunal and Quasi Judicial Authority in given facts and circumstances of the case showing urgency or emergent situation. This cannot be said to be elimination of the principles of natural justice or if ex-parte orders are passed, then to say that objections thereupon would amount to post-decisional hearing. Second Proviso to Section 11 of the SEBI Act provides adequate safeguards for adhering to the principles of natural justice, which otherwise is a case herein also..." 20. I, therefore, find that the interim order in this case was in accordance with provisions of law envisaged in the SEBI Act and was not in disregard of the principles of natural justice. It is also pertinent to ....

....India. In this regard, it is noted that Article 19 (1) (g) guarantees to all citizens the right to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business. However, at the same time it is pertinent to mention that this freedom is not uncontrolled as clause (6) of Article 19 authorises legislation which imposes reasonable restrictions on this right in the interest of general public. It is a matter of common knowledge that Securities and Exchange Board of India, 1992 is a special Act enacted by the Parliament conferring on SEBI the duty to protect the interests of investors in securities and to promote the development of, and to regulate the securities market, by such measures as it thinks fit. In the present case, the restraint order has been passed by SEBI in exercise of the powers conferred upon it by law and towards fulfilment of the duties cast under the SEBI Act. As noted in the interim order, the conduct of the Noticees has been found to be prima facie fraudulent and the Noticees have therefore been restrained from accessing the securities market and dealing in securities till further directions. In view of the above, I find that the restraint order against th....

Having dealt with the preliminary contentions as above, I now proceed to deal with the specific submissions made by the different categories among the Noticees. Pine and its Directors 27. Pine has contended that it is evident from its financials that it had made profit after the preferential allotment with the inflow of further capital. Further, it had with the new investments made, maximised the shareholders wealth by properly utilising their funds in line with its business activities and that they have in no way mis-utilised the shareholder's funds. Pine has further contended that investors/shareholders of the company are in no way connected/associated with it or its directors under any arrangement or scheme and that they have invested in its shares on their own will and after going through the company's profile and its future plans. I note that Pine has further contended that neither the company nor its directors have benefitted in any manner with respect to the trading in the shares of the company and that the directors have just acted in their capacity of directors and have done all acts and business transactions within the purv....

....bserved that the annual reports do not discuss the factors that contributed to such exponential increase in the revenue from operations. The "Management Discussion and Analysis" indicated that during the relevant period, the animation industry faced various challenges due to global and economic slowdown and increasing rates of interest rates. When the animation industry was facing various challenges and the annual reports are silent about the reasons for the substantial increase in the revenue from operations, it gives rise to a doubt, whether the reported income figures are genuine. This matter is matter of investigation. Pine has failed to give any plausible explanation as how the transfer of the proceeds of preferential allotment to various entities as observed in the interim order, can be said to be utilisation of funds for the disclosed purposes. It has also failed to explain as to how the entire modus operandi including the preferential allotments and stock -split as alleged in the interim order was genuine and not part of device, plan as brought out in the interim order. I, therefore, reject the contentions of the company in this regard. 29. Admittedly, after revocation o....

....is to exit of preferential allottees at a very high price could not have been fructified without the involvement and co-operation of the directors of Pine. I, therefore, do not find any merit in the contention of the directors in this regard. 32. I further note that one of the directors, viz; Mr. Rajagopalan Nagaraja Sharma has submitted that he had tendered his resignation to the Board, immediately on change of ownership of the company, but was asked to continue for a short time till the new Board of Directors was formed. However, finding his name still appearing as director of the company in January 2013, he had written to the Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu, Chennai on February 04, 2013, informing them about his resignation in July 2012. I note that Mr. Sharma has not produced any document to substantiate that the company had received the resignation letter submitted by him in July 2012. Further, the Annual Report of the company for the year ending March 2013, continued to show Mr. Sharma as one of the directors of Pine and also mentions about his appointment as Executive Director for a period of one year from 2nd September 2013 to 1st September 2014.

....and one of the directors Mr. Nagaraj Sharma, who have made submissions that Nimesh S. Joshi and Hitesh N Kawas had got in touch with them, asking if the promoter shares can be acquired. I also note that the said promoter related entities have not provided any documents in support of their claim of having given loans to the promoters. Accordingly, at this stage, I do not find any merit in the submissions made by the said promoter related entities and reject the same. 36. I note that some of the promoter related entities have also submitted that interim order is discriminatory in as much as only those entities who have earned over Rs. 1,00,00,000 are alleged to have partaken in the wrongdoing and other entities, have, for reasons unexplained, been excluded from liability. Further, the entities have also submitted that for the purpose of including them in the shortlisted group, their sales have been incorrectly clubbed together, while individually, they have sold shares for less than Rs. 1 crore. In this regard, I find it important to mention that the interim order clearly mentions that detailed investigation in the matter is in progress. The fact that certain Promoter Related Enti....

The facts and circumstances of this case, in my view, prima facie indicate that the transfer of these shares in physical form was under a prior arrangement for the ulterior motive or the end objective of the scheme that has been brought out explicitly in the interim order. In view of the foregoing, I reject the contentions of Promoter related entities in this regard. 38. I further note that some of the promoter related entities namely - Ms. Bina Devi Dhanuka, Mr. Mayank Dhanuka, Mr. Umang Dhanuka and Ms. Rajkumari Dhanuka, who are the directors of Bihariji Constructions have with respect to the fund transaction between Pine and Bihariji Constructions, submitted that the loans were advanced by Pine to Bihariji Constructions and that they were not aware of and/or connected with the source of funds used by Pine to advance the loans to Bihariji Constructions and that therefore, the said directors of Bihariji Constructions cannot be classified wrongly as Promo....

The preferential allottees, in this case, have failed to substantiate their claim that they made investment in preferential allotment and were not known to the company or its promoters/directors and/or had no nexus, connection with them in the preferential allotment. When asked during personal hearings to the respective preferential allottees they have failed to give any plausible explanation as to how the company could make allotment to them if they were not known to it or its promoters/directors and if they had no nexus/connection with them. The preferential allottees have claimed that they were approached by certain individuals with a presentation and were asked to make investment in the preferential allotment but they have failed to explain as to how only they were selected by the Company for making presentation to them individually. The fact that such presentations were made to few preferential allottees, individually, itself suggests existence of prior understanding and nexus between the company, its promoters/directors and the Noticees. 42. It is well accepted position that a preferenti....

It is further noted that as on May 06, 2015, the allottees are still holding 18,03,34,724 shares of Pine that were allotted to them in the aforesaid preferential allotments. Further, the promoter related entities who bought shares from promoters are holding 23,00,645 shares of Pine as on May 06, 2015.The price of the scrip as on May 06,2015 was Rs.24/- per share. Thus, the preferential allottees and promoter related entities who are still holding these shares, may potentially book a bogus tax exempt LTCG of approximately Rs.420 crore. Unless prevented they may use the stock exchange mechanism in the same manner as discussed hereinabove for the purposes of their dubious plans as prima facie found in this case. In my view, the stock exchange system cannot be permitted to be used for any unlawful/forbidden activities." 45.

Thus, the sale proceeds received by Mr. Pankaj Goshar on the sale of shares received by him as a gift from his sister would have been eligible for claiming exemption from tax on LTCG. 48. I further note that prima facie the fact remains that the preferential allotment made to Ms. Lata Shah and the act of gifting of shares to her brother Mr. Pankaj Goshar all form a part of the modus operandi wherein the whole scheme of preferential allotment was orchestrated to enable the allottees to book illegitimate profits, avail fictitious/bogus LTCG on these profits and convert their unaccounted income into accounted one by misusing the securities market system in the manner as mentioned in the said interim order. In these facts and circumstances, I prima facie do not find any merit in the contention of the above mentioned Ms. Lata Shah in this regard and reject the same. 49. I note that some of the preferential entities, namely, Mr. Anmol Prakash Babani, Mr. Kunal Ramesh Babani and Mr. Sharan Mohan Babani have submitted that they have no nexus with the exit providers as none of the shares....

.... to the price rise. From LTP analysis, it was observed that price of the scrip increased from Rs.47.2 to Rs.100.6 mainly through first trades in 19 instances. 53. The Noticees have contended that they have no connections with any of the other entitles mentioned in the interim order. Further, the Noticees have also contended that they have made miniscule investments in the scrip of Pine and subsequently sold off the shares yielding minimal profits. 54. Without going to any further discussion on this subject matter, based on common sense and knowledge, I am of the view that the role played by the entities trading in the Patch I to artificially increase the price during the lock in period in order to give huge profitable exit to preferential allottees and promoter related entities as brought out in the interim order of May 8, 2015 needs to be seen holistically. This is further strengthened by the fact that restrictions have been imposed on some of the LTP contributors in several interim orders issued by SEBI on the same modus operandi. Hence, the role played by the Noticees in the Patch 1 need to be seen in the backdrop of scale and size of operations undertaken by helping the b....

....alysis of order book made after the passing of the interim order, it was observed that during the price increase period i.e. patch 1, there were total of 119 buy orders for 21,420 shares placed by 25 buyers. Of these 21,420 shares, buy orders for 16,740 shares constituting 78.15% of the order book were placed by the 6 LTP Contributors as brought out in the table above. From the data it is also observed that, they have placed buy orders with average quantity per order in the range of 47 shares to 461 shares. From the above trading pattern of the noticees, it was observed that the contribution to price rise by top 3 LTP Contributors is individually quite high (around 15%). In this background, I reject the submissions of top 3 LTP Contributors that their trading did not have an impact on the price rise of the scrip of Pine. 58. Further, order log analysis of top buy-side order book (in terms of all order placed in the order book) was carried out and is tabulated as under: Table 8: Name of the entity PAN No. of orders placed Sum of shares placed in all orders % of order book Avg qty per order Trade to Order ratio Sanjay Kumar Shah AJSPS5543F 14 64....

....hereby controlled the supply of shares. Such selling behavior also exhibits suspicious trading in spite of a huge demand for the shares. Although the role of buyers in creating such demand cannot be outrightly ignored, the facts and circumstances of each case need to be holistically examined. In this case, from the material available on record, I note that the Noticees are not connected / related to the company or its promoters or directors or with any entities mentioned in the interim order. The Noticees have demonstrated that they had placed the buy orders seeing huge demands on previous trading day as against thin volume traded and purchase quantity was always far less than the traded volume. Further, they had placed impugned orders in the scrip without foreseeing any manipulation or being a party to the scheme described in the interim order. They have also demonstrated that they had purchased only 1181 shares out of his own funds through 31 trades without being party to the scheme in question. I do not find sufficient material at this stage to attribute role of the some of the LTP contributors in the dubious plan, scheme or devices and to continue the directions issued in the i....

Exit providers have contended that SEBI has erroneously named them as exit providers and clubbed them as Pine Animation Group entities and they have not done any wrong-doing. In this regard, I would like to reiterate para 19 of the interim order which reads as under: "The transactions wherein the Exit Providers bought most of the shares sold by the Preferential Allottees and Promoter related entities cannot be just a coincidence particularly when sellers have nexus with Pine and its promoters/directors by virtue of being Preferential allotees/Promoter related entities and other factors mentioned in Annexure-A. It is interesting to note that in Patch 1, 92.52% of the share capital of Pine was with the Preferential Allotees and the Promoter related entities. From the analysis presented for Patch 1 and 2, it was established that the shares of Pine were not in demand by the general investors of the market and saw very low volume on most of the trading days and hence could not have commanded the price as observed in Path 3. In any market, a sud....

In the instant case, exit providers had acted as buyers when the preferential allottees and the promoter related entities were selling the shares of Pine after the lock-in period. It is apparent from the trading pattern that these Exit providers had bought shares at high prices. Such trading behaviour belies any economic rationale and indicates existence of premeditated arrangement among the Noticees. Moreover, as discussed in the interim order, had these Noticees not traded/dealt in the scrip of Pine during the relevant time, it would not have been possible for the preferential allotees and the promoter related entities to offload/sell in large numbers at such price in such a stock that has hardly any intrinsic value. 70. In view of the above facts and circumstances, I find that exit providers had prima facie acted in concert/league and misused the exchange platform to provide exit to the preferential allotees and promoter related entities at a high price thereby enabling these preferential allotees ....

With regard to the contention made by Linus Holdings Ltd., that there have been no fund transfers between Alishan Estate Pvt. Ltd and Duari Marketing Pvt. Ltd., it is observed from the bank statement that Alishan Estate Pvt. Ltd had received Rs. 10 lac from Duari Marketing Pvt. Ltd. on September 09, 2014. In this regard, I note that this fund transaction in itself is an indication that they are known to each other as the said transfer was done on one to one basis and in virtue of Linus Holdings Ltd. and Alishan Estate Pvt. Ltd., having a common director, it shows the connection between Linus Holdings Ltd. and Duari Marketing Pvt. Ltd. In addition to their connection, the trading of these connected entities in the same scrip i.e Pine at the same time and in similar pattern as other entities of Exit Provider Group signifies their role in the scheme in question that led to misuse of securities market system. In view of the same I find no merit in the contention of Linus Holdings Ltd. 75. With regard to the contention of BSR Finance and ....

....riod. Thereafter, the preferential allotees and the promoter related entities were able to offload their shares at high price, continuously for a period of around 13 months. In any normal market, a sudden supply if not matched by similar demand leads to price fall. In this peculiar case, the preferential allotees and the promoter related entities were able to offload shares at high price because of the presence of Exit Providers who acted as buyers when the preferential allotees and the promoter related entities were selling their shares. In the whole process, artificial demand was created by the entities of the Exit Providers so as to absorb the supply from the preferential allotees and the promoter related entities. Thus as a result of the trading between preferential allotees and the promoter related entities and the Exit Providers in patch-3, the average trading volume in the scrip increased astronomically to the extent of 4433 times. Such increase in volume was mainly on account of matched trading amongst preferential allotees, promoter related entities and the Exit Providers. This artificial volume in the scrip created by the preferential allotees, promoter related entities a....
