Per : P.K. Malhotra, (Oral)
This order will dispose of two appeals no. 214 and 215 of 2012 which arise out
of common set of facts and against a common order. Prayer in both these appeals is
seeking extension of time for submission of documents/information before the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (the Board) as per the directions given by the
Hon’ble upreme Court in its judgment and order dated August 31, 2012 in Civil
Appeal nos. 9813 and 9833 of 2012.
- During the pendency of these appeals, the appellants had approached this
Tribunal with another appeal [No. 221 of 2012] praying that the respondent Board may
be directed to accept pay order amounting to ` 5120 crores for repaying the amount to
the OFCD subscribers. The said appeal was dismissed by this Tribunal as premature and
2
not maintainable. The appellant had thereafter approached the Hon ’b le Supreme Court
and HonSeCbitorde dated December 5, 2012, has already
extended the time for filing the documents in support of the refund made to any person,
as claimed by the appellant, by a period of 15 days. Since the HonSprem e Court
has already given a specific direction in the matter, the appeals before this Tribunal
have become infructuous. In any case, since the time limit for submitting the documents
to Bohasbeenspecified y e ’SCanr for
extension of such time should also be made before the Apex Court and not before this
Tribunal.
Since we are dismissing the appeals as infructuous, we are not going into the
issue of maintainability as argued by the respondent Board.
Both the appeals are dismissed with no order as to costs.
