Zee and CEO Goenka Appeal SEBI Market Access Restrictions at SAT
Zee Entertainment and CEO Punit Goenka have appealed to the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) against a Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) order restricting their market access. SEBI barred Goenka and promoter Subhash Chandra for 12 months and Zee for two months, imposing penalties over the alleged unauthorized pledge of Zee's Hyderabad land to secure loans for Essel Group entities. Zee seeks a stay on restrictions to proceed with a planned fund raise aimed at increasing promoter stake. The SAT hearing is scheduled for August 12.
