Bikramjit Ahluwalia vs Sebi on 20 November, 2017
29. We find that the facts of the case in Modipan, K. K. Modi and Nikhil
Mansukhani (supra) are similar to each other inasmuch as there were
disputes, differences and litigations between two promoter groups and,
therefore, the two group of promoters, though they continued to be
promoters could not be said to be acting in concert with each order.
Whereas, in the present case, the appellant has not brought on record any
19
evidence of dispute between the promoters. In fact, the Appellant replied
to the SCN on behalf of himself as promoter and part of the Promoter Group
and on behalf of other promoters who were persons acting in concert as per
said regulations and has admitted that the acquisition in issue had been
made only with a view to consolidate the total promoter shareholding. In
the circumstances, the aforesaid three judgements are distinguishable and do
not support the case of the Appellant.
