Case Laws SEBI HC

The HC partially allowed the appeal against the cancellation of property sale through e-auction initiated by SEBI. While upholding the cancellation due to non-payment of balance consideration within the specified time, the HC set aside the automatic forfeiture of the entire Earnest Money Deposit (EMD). The court found that Rule 58 of the Second Schedule of Income Tax Act and Order XXI Rule 86 of CPC confer discretionary power on authorities regarding EMD forfeiture, requiring consideration of actual damages suffered. The HC directed SEBI to reconsider the extent of EMD forfeiture after providing the appellant an opportunity of hearing and to determine the appropriate forfeiture amount within 8 weeks.
