SEBI to issue show-cause notice to CSE

The SEBI board has decided to issue a show-cause notice to the Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) under Section 11 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act asking as to why the CSE governing board should not be superseded in view of the findings of a three-member SEBI team which inquired into the affairs of the exchange between April 18 and 22 last. According to a SEBI press release issued in Bombay today, the report of the inquiry team had been submitted to the SEBI board on May 16, and was discussed by the latter at its board meeting on Thursday. The board, it is stated, took a serious view of the findings, especially in respect of the “arbitrary and ad hoc manner of functioning” of the stock exchange which has serious repercussions on investors’ confidence in the capital market.
