The Securities and Exchange Board of India has, through a consent
order on Monday, disposed of proceedings against Mr Arun Jain, CMD of
Polaris Software Labs, for alleged insider trading charges involving
shares of the company during the period between August 28 and October
3, 2000.
This order came after Mr Jain proposed to pay Rs 7 lakh in revised
consent terms for settlement on February 15, 2008 and the Madras High
Court on June 11, 2008, dismissed a writ petition by Mr Jain.
In March, Mr Jain had paid the amount for settlement charges and legal
expenses. The SEBI consent proceedings do not require the person or
the entity on which a show cause notice has been filed to admit or
deny the charges.
In another consent order, issued on Monday by the regulator,
adjudication proceedings against Anagram Stockbroking were disposed
of. Anagram under consent term paid Rs 10,000 to settle the matter.
The SEBI had alleged that the broking firm had acted as a financier to
the key operators involved in the 2003-2005 IPO scam.
The operators had opened many demat accounts in fictitious and benami
names and made large number of applications in the IPOs in the
category reserved for the retail investors.
