Sebi well within rights to act against RIL: MCA

The government has said that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) was empowered to take action against Reliance Industries (RIL) if a probe established irregularities in share allotment by the company in 2000, and wanted to know what exactly the market regulator expected from it. - McLeod Russel buys Uganda tea company - Give updates on RIL share allotment probe: Govt to Sebi - MCA asks Sebi to provide details of RIL probe - "2009 was a good year, next will be brighter" - 19 cities identified for gas network in Andhra - "Our profits will go up with diversification" "When you have the powers, what is it exactly that you want us to look into," the Ministry of Corporate Affairs said in a letter to Sebi in response to the regulator"s suggestion for appropriate action against RIL for alleged routing of funds to dummy companies to buy its own shares in 2000. "Under section 55 of the Companies Act, Sebi also has jurisdiction to look into matters related to securities," the ministry noted. At the same time, the ministry asked the regulator for details of its own investigation to initiate appropriate action. Sebi, in its letter to the Corporate Affairs Ministry earlier, had said that the matter of "irregular issue of privately placed debenture (PPD) IV and V by RIL" are being referred for "consideration and appropriate action." The regulator had separately taken the opinion of retired Supreme Court judge Justice B N Srikrishna on its probe.

Geetanjali Krishna: The unofficial Tatkal service
It’s rather peculiar,” said a friend recently, “that of late, almost every time that I have tried to buy a train ticket, even if it is a month in advance, I have found myself wait-listed…” She was desperately trying to send off Sushil, her trusted right-hand man to Kolkata for some urgent business, and was unable to get tickets on any train going eastwards. “The air tickets cost upwards of Rs 12,000 — I don’t know what to do!” said she. Just then, her courier service provider, who happened to overhear some of this conversation, said, “Why are you getting so hassled madam? Just send him to the railway station and meet this travel agent friend of mine … he’ll get him on today’s Rajdhani to Kolkata!” But how could he do that when the train was full, she asked bemusedly. “It’s the unofficial Tatkal service,” said he.
