Supreme Court Remands Vedanta-Linked Cairn SEBI Penalty Case to SAT for Reconsideration
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 Vedanta Ltd) over its 2014 share buyback. SEBI alleged Cairn misled investors and failed to place adequate buy orders despite market liquidity. SAT had earlier quashed SEBI's order, but the Supreme Court found discrepancies in trading data and directed SAT to reexamine the evidence and issue fresh findings. The case also involves penalties on former company officials.
