Supreme Court To Pronounce Order On Panel Of Experts In Adani-Hindenburg Row:
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on a batch of PILs filed in connection with the recent Adani Group share crash, which was precipitated by Hindenburg Research's fraud claims, on Thursday.
A bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala is expected to rule on the formation of a panel of domain experts to strengthen existing stock market regulatory measures.
While reserving its order, the top court on February 17 rejected to accept under a sealed cover the Centre's suggestion on a proposed panel of experts.
Observing that it desired full transparency for investor protection, the Supreme Court also ruled out the prospect of any sitting judge overseeing the proposed panel's operation.
The central government had expressed concern that any unintentional message to investors that regulatory bodies in India needed monitoring by a panel would have an adverse impact on the flow of money into the country, despite the fact that statutory bodies such as market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) are fully equipped and on the job.
The Centre had informed the bench that it wished to give information such as names and the scope of the panel's mission in a sealed envelope.
