Adani Row: SC Refuses To Accept Suggestions In Sealed Cover, Cites Transparency

While hearing petitions on the Adani-Hindenburg row, the바카라 웹사이트Supreme Court on February 17, Friday told the Centre that the apex body will not entertain sealed cover suggestions.바카라 웹사이트"We want to ensure transparency. In case we take your suggestions from a sealed cover, it automatically means the other party won't know," the CJI said. "We want full transparency for the protection of investors. We will form a committee. There will be a sense of confidence in the court," CJI DY Chandrachud바카라 웹사이트said during the proceedings.

Observing that it wanted “full transparency for the protection of investors”, the top court also ruled out the possibility of any sitting judge overseeing the functioning of the proposed panel. “We are closing it for orders,” said the bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud after hearing brief submissions by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and PIL petitioners including lawyers Prashant Bhushan and M L Sharma.

The top court on February 10바카라 웹사이트suggested the Centre consider setting up a panel of domain experts headed by a former judge to strengthen the market regulatory mechanism in the wake of the allegations of stock manipulation against the Adani Group, as per media reports. The Centre in accordance submitted a note in a sealed cover to the court on Friday suggesting possible names of members to be part of the committee.

The Supreme Court bench comprising바카라 웹사이트CJI, Justice S Narasimha, and JB Pardiwala indicated that it will constitute the committee by doing its own research and reserved order on the composition of the committee. "We can't start with a presumption of regulatory failure,"바카라 웹사이트 Chief Chandrachud said.

Stressing that statutory bodies like the market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) are “fully equipped” and are on job, the central government had expressed apprehension that any “unintentional” message to the investors that regulatory bodies in India needed monitoring by a panel may have some adverse impact on the flow of money into the country.

The Centre had told the bench that it wanted to provide details such as names and the scope of the panel라이브 바카라 mandate in a “sealed cover”.

As of now, lawyers M L Sharma and Vishal Tiwari, Congress leader Jaya Thakur and activist Mukesh Kumar have filed four PILs바카라 웹사이트in the Supreme Court on the Adani-Hindenburg issue, with Sharma demanding바카라 웹사이트an investigation into Hindenburg too.
