Misc. Application No. 82 of 2021 in Appeal Lodging No. 17 of 2021 :
In appeal No. 49 of 2021, we had directed by our order dated December 10, 2020 to the said appellant to deposit a sum of Rs.1 crore out of the
total amount of Rs.2.20 crore imposed in the impugned order. In appeal lodging No. 7 of 2021 which is against the same order, we had directed the
said appellant by our order dated January 15, 2021 to deposit another sum of Rs. Rs.1 crore. In view of the said directions, the amounts had been
deposited by the said appellants.
In appeal lodging No. 17 of 2021 Ms. Prenita Dutt & Ors. vs. SEBI, a similar direction was issued to deposit a sum of Rs.1 crore. The appellants
have filed the present Misc. Application praying for deletion of this direction to deposit a sum of Rs.1 crore as the entire amount under the other two
appeals have been more or less deposited.
Considering the aforesaid, we find that since by our direction Rs.2 crore have already been deposited out of Rs.2.20 crore, the direction to deposit a
sum of Rs.1 crore by order dated January 15, 2021 in appeal lodging No. 17 of 2021 is deleted. The application is accordingly disposed of.
The appellants are directed to file their rejoinder affidavits within three weeks from today. List for admission and for final disposal on February 24,
2021.
Parties will seek instructions from the Registrar 48 hrs. before the date fixed on the issue whether the parties will be heard by the physical hearing
or by video conference depending upon the prevailing situation on that time.
The present matter was 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.
