Mr. Kamlendra Chunilal Joshi vs Sebi

Securities Appellate Tribunal21 February 2020Tarun Agarwala

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

A review application founded on a document that was not part of the record of the appeal cannot be entertained, because the tribunal's earlier order rested on the material evidence and documents placed before it in the appeal, and a later show cause notice outside that record cannot be considered at the review stage to upset that order.

CORAM: Justice Tarun Agarwala, Presiding Officer Dr. C.K.G. Nair, Member Justice M. T. Joshi, Judicial Member

Per: Justice Tarun Agarwala (Oral)

1.

The appellants were found responsible for violating public

issue norms while collecting monies through Non- Convertible

Debentures (NCDs). While dismissing the appeals by judgement

dated April 16, 2019 we found the appellants to be officers in

default as per Section 5(g) of the Companies Act, 1956.

2. A Review Application has now been filed contending

through an additional affidavit that the Adjudicating Officer has

issued another show cause notice dated March 21, 2018 indicating

that the company had a managing director and consequently in

view of this admitted position by the respondent the appellants 3

should be exonerated from the charge under Section 5(g) of the

Companies Act.

3. Having heard the learned senior counsel for the appellants/

applicants, we are of the view that the order passed by us was

based on the material evidence and documents that was placed in

the appeal. The show cause notice dated March 21, 2018 was not

part of the record and which cannot be considered at this stage.

The Review Application is thus dismissed.
