Supreme Court Remands Cairn India's SEBI Penalty Case to Securities Appellate Tribunal
The Supreme Court has remanded to the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) the case involving a Rs 5.25 crore penalty imposed by SEBI on Cairn India, now part of Vedanta Ltd, over its 2014 share buyback. SEBI alleged Cairn misled investors and failed to place adequate purchase orders despite market liquidity, violating buyback regulations. SAT had earlier quashed SEBI's order, but the Supreme Court has directed a fresh review of factual aspects. The case concerns Cairn's partial buyback amid rising share prices.
