CORAM: Justice Tarun Agarwala, Presiding Officer Justice M. T. Joshi, Judicial Member

Per: Justice Tarun Agarwala, Presiding Officer (Oral)

1. All the appeals arise from a common order dated

December 24, 2019 passed by the Whole Time Member

("WTM" for convenience) of the Securities and Exchange

Board of India ("SEBI" for convenience) restraining the

appellants from accessing the securities market for a period of

one year and are being taken up together.

2. There is a delay in the filing of the appeals. For the

reasons stated in the applications, the delays in filing the appeals

are condoned. The Misc. Applications are allowed.

3. The WTM had debarred the appellants from accessing the

securities market for a period of one year from December 24,

2019. This period has expired. In the light of the aforesaid, the

learned counsel for the appellants submitted that they may be 6

permitted to withdraw the appeals and may be permitted to raise

the issue in the appeals filed against the order of the AO.

Permission granted. The appeals are dismissed as withdrawn

and the dismissal of the appeals will not come in the way while

arguing the appeals against the order of the AO.

4. The present matters were heard through video conference

due to Covid-19 pandemic. At this stage it is not possible to sign

a copy of this order nor a certified copy of this order could be

issued by the Registry. In these circumstances, this order will be

digitally signed by the Private Secretary on behalf of the bench

and all concerned parties are directed to act on the digitally

signed copy of this order. Parties will act on production of a

digitally signed copy sent by fax and/or email.
