Choksi has been restrained from buying, selling or dealing in securities and is prohibited from accessing securities market for a period of 10 years with a penalty of Rs. 5 crores for indulging in fraudulent and unfair trade practices.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Facts:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The instant proceeding emanates from a Show Cause Notice (&#8216;SCN&#8217;) dated 24-05-2022 which was issued by SEBI against Mehul C. Choksi (Noticee), pursuant to an investigation by SEBI into the alleged manipulative trading in the scrip of Gitanjali Gems Ltd (&#8216;GGL&#8217;).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Vide SEBI&#8217;s order dated 10-03-2017, an investigation was directed in the matter of alleged manipulative trading in the scrip of GGL to ascertain whether there was any violation of the provisions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002768476\">SEBI Act, 1992<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000918258\">SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003<\/a>, (&#8216;PFUTP Regulations) and the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations 1997 and 2011 respectively. Accordingly, SEBI investigated trading activities of certain entities in the scrip of GGL for the period 18-07-2011 to 25-01-2012 (investigation period).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Findings of Investigation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The shares of GGL were listed on both BSE and NSE. The scrip was under suspension on both the exchanges and the scrip was last traded on BSE on 1-04-2019 and on NSE on 26-04-2018. In October 2018, GGL went under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Noticee was the Chairman and Managing Director (&#8216;MD&#8217;) of GGL during the investigation period. One of the Front Entities was a former employee of GGL. Investigation revealed that though he was an employee of GGL only till February 2011, the relationship between Mehul Choksi and Manoj continued even after his resignation, as there were fund transfers between Mehul Choksi and Reva Superstructures Pvt. Ltd., an entity connected with former employee of GGL who an authorized signatory for the current account of Reva, which was maintained with ICICI Bank. From the account statement of the said account of Reva, it was observed that there were frequent fund transfers between Mehul Choksi (from his personal account) and Reva. Further, transactions pertaining to opening of a Fixed Deposit for GGL were also observed in the bank statement of Reva.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">On analysis of Bank statements of GGL and Suspected Entities, it was noted that GGL was transferring and receiving funds from the Suspected Entities (including the Front Entities) through layering and these amounts were either utilized for meeting pay-in obligations \/ margin obligations towards brokers or they pertained to pay-outs received from exchanges which were transferred back to GGL. On the basis of the transfer of funds, it was observed that GGL was facilitating and funding the purchase and sale of its shares through Front Entities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was found that the Front Entities&#8217; connection with Mehul Choksi and the fund transfers with GGL made it clear that the trades of the Front Entities in the derivatives segment were not for hedging purposes but for maintaining the price and volume of the scrip of GGL to benefit Mehul Choksi.<\/p>\n<p><b>Observation and Analysis:<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Through the investigation, it was revealed that the bank accounts of GGL was singly operated by the Mehul Choksi. On considering the same, it is evident that he was using the Front Entities for executing trades in the scrip of GGL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The SEBI further restrained Mehul Choksi from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever and is further prohibited from accessing the securities market, for a period of ten years from the date of this Order.
