Kishore Biyani, founder of the Future Group, has moved the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) challenging the order issued by markets regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) banning him and four other related entities from the market for one year. The SEBI order is based on its probe of a 2017 case related to breach of insider trading rules.
Soon after the February 3 SEBI order, Future Retail Ltd, promoted by Biyani, in a regulatory filing said the ban imposed by SEBI on the company's chairperson "will have no impact on the ongoing Scheme of Arrangement of the company" and that the company understands "that the relevant parties propose to challenge this order in exercise of their statutory right to appeal."
In addition to the ban on trading, SEBI has also imposed a fine of ₹1 crore each on Kishore Biyani, Anil Biyani and Future Corporate Resources Pvt Ltd (FCRPL). The regulator has also asked them to pay up ₹17.78 crore for the wrongful gains made by them by using unpublished price-sensitive information to trade in Future Retail shares.
