It was further alleged that the Noticees failed to exercise due skill, care and diligence expected from stock-brokers. While in reply to the show cause notice (after many recalling attempts) the Noticees denied any such advice given to the clients and further submitted that there was an inordinate delay in initiation of the proceedings and the SCN has been issued after more than 8 years from the alleged violation and investigation.
