Tarun Agarwala, Presiding Officer
We have taken up the appeal for admission. The urgency application is accordingly allowed and disposed of. There is a delay in the filing of the
appeal and accordingly an application for condonation of delay has been filed. For the reasons stated in the application, the delay in filing the appeal is
condoned. The application is allowed.
The present appeal has been filed against the recovery certificate dated August 25, 2020 issued by the Recovery Officer. From a perusal of the
recovery certificate we find that the certificate has been issued pursuant to an order of the Whole Time Member (‘WTM’ for short) of the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’ for short) dated May 12, 2016, September 5, 2018 and also in pursuance of the order of this
Tribunal dated November 9, 2016. We also find that an ex-parte ad-interim order was passed on March 17, 2015 which was challenged before this
Tribunal but the said appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution by an order of this Tribunal dated December 15, 2015.
We find that the present recovery certificate has been issued in pursuance to the order of the WTM dated May 12, 2016 which has not been
challenged. Consequently, in the absence of any infirmity in the recovery certificate we are not inclined to interfere in the impugned recovery
certificate especially when the order of the WTM dated May 12, 2016 has not been challenged. The appeal fails and is dismissed with no order as to
costs.
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

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.
