SAT Rejects Danny Gaekwad's Plea to Relax Timelines for Religare Takeover Offer
The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) dismissed businessman Digvijay Laxhamsinh Gaekwad's appeal seeking exemption from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) takeover regulations to make a competing open offer for Religare Enterprises Ltd. SAT ruled that Gaekwad missed the 15-working-day deadline to submit a competing offer after the Burman Group's detailed public statement. The tribunal emphasized that allowing a late offer would unfairly disadvantage the Burman Group, which had complied with regulatory timelines and deposited funds in escrow.
