SEBI Tells Bombay HC No Disqualification Found in Embassy REIT Fit and Proper Review
SEBI informed the Bombay High Court that its review of complaints about the 'fit and proper' status of individuals linked to Embassy Office Parks REIT was conducted after regulatory amendments in April 2026. The regulator found no grounds for disqualification under the updated rules, which no longer consider pending criminal charges as automatic disqualifiers. However, SEBI's affidavit does not clarify the status of Jitendra and Karan Virwani under earlier regulations. The petitions address concerns about the sponsor's status and disclosure issues.
