Zee Entertainment Seeks Tribunal Relief Against SEBI Market Access Ban Amid Fundraise Plans
Zee Entertainment has challenged SEBI's July 31 order barring the company and its promoters from securities market access, seeking clarity and relief from the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT). The company aims to proceed with a shareholder-approved Rs 3,143.5 crore preferential warrant issue to promoter group entity Sunbright Mauritius Investments. SAT has reserved its interim order while questioning the rationale behind the two-month market ban. The dispute relates to alleged unauthorized pledging of Zee-owned land by promoters for Essel Group borrowings.
