#SEBI has passed an ex parte interim order in the case of Mr. Ashok Kumar Jain and his 9 connected entities. The noticees have been prime facie found to be involved in fraudulent and manipulative scheme of issuing preference shares for Darjeeling Industriies Limited (DIL), misutilising the proceeds to divert to connected entities or entities without commercial substance as well as presenting false rosy picture of the company. The company DIL was found to be non-existent at the two addresses available including the address from where the corporate announcements were being made. Lock in of some of the shares held by noticees was getting over today necessitating passing of this interim order with a direction to restraint noticees from dealing in the scrip of DIL. The direction is passed to prevent noticees from enriching themselves illegally by selling shares and making wrongful gains.
