Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

CORAM : Justice J. P. Devadhar, Presiding Officer Jog Singh, Member Dr. C. K. G. Nair, Member

Per : Justice J. P. Devadhar (Oral)

1. Not on board. Taken up by consent of parties.

2. By this misc. application, the applicant seeks modification of our order

passed in aforesaid appeal on October 10, 2017.

3. First Grievance of the applicant is that in para 1 of our order it is recorded

that counsel for the appellant has agreed to make a fresh representation to SEBI

when in fact the suggestion was made by counsel for SEBI and not by the counsel 2 for the appellant. Since counsel for appellant has accepted the suggestion, we see

no reason to modify our order.

4. Second grievance of the applicant is that the applicant must be permitted to

make representation on all issues relating to the violation of securities laws by the

respondent No. 2 and not restricted to the violation set out in the appeal.

5. In our opinion, permitting the appellant to make representation on issues

which are not subject matter of appeal would amount to enlarging the scope of the

representation beyond the grievances set out in the memo of appeal. Therefore, we

see no reason to modify our order on this issue as well.

6. Accordingly, we see no merit in the misc. application and the same is hereby

dismissed with no order as to costs.
