The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has disposed of the proceedings initiated by a present trigger discover towards Dish TV unbiased administrators Bhagwan Das Narang, Rashmi Aggarwal and Shankar Aggarwal with none additional instructions.
In March, the regulator had requested Dish TV India to reveal the outcomes of its shareholder’s assembly held in December 2021 inside 24 hours. The firm didn’t disclose the outcomes of its annual normal assembly citing a pending case within the Bombay High Court.
On March 7, Sebi’s whole-time member S Okay Mohanty handed an ex-parte interim order towards Dish TV, its key administration staff and the three IDs. Show trigger notices had been issued to the IDs searching for a proof for the delay in disclosing the outcomes regardless of repeated reminders.

The remaining advisory was disclosed by Dish TV to the exchanges subsequently. On February 14, earlier than the graduation of the board assembly, the corporate knowledgeable the IDs that it had already replied to Sebi and was awaiting a remaining response.
“The SCN and facts and circumstances of the case do not show whether the replies of the company dated January 18, 2022 and February 10, 2022, to Sebi and disclosure to the stock exchanges on February 10, 2022, was done after deliberation with independent directors. The facts do not indicate any complicity of the independent directors for the disclosures under Regulation 44(3) of the LODR Regulations and the Advisories issued by Sebi. Thus, no omission to exercise due diligence can be attributed to the independent directors in the facts and circumstances of the case,” the Sebi order noticed on Thursday.
