Under pressure from narendar modi, BLACKROCK, GOLDMAN Sachs and ambani-adani ecosystem,
SEBI has made “an attempt” to shed some light on Adani’s billion $ scams.

crimes are well documented. Under pressure from modi ROGUE REGIME, USA, UK, Mauritius,
ISRAEL, UAE, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Singapore, Australia have supported the corrupt, money
laundering group.

STATE intimidates adani’s critics
Washington Post
“Indian tax authorities simultaneously raided three non-profit organizations that the
government believed were critics of Gautam Adani, one of India’s richest men and a political
ally of Mr. Modi. The raids were a case study in how the Modi government uses state power
to crimp its critics.”

2nd March 2023,


2014 Modi Regime’s Anti-Nation, Anti-People Tweak to the law
Treacherous- For the CORRUPT, By the CORRUPT - TWEAK
Until 2014, such entities were required to disclose the ultimate natural person owning an
economic interest in each FPI. From around 2017, SEBI quietly began work on diluting the
rules, first setting up the HR Khan (former deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India)
committee. Finally, disclosure rules for foreign portfolio investors were changed to drop a
specific clause (on ‘Opaque Structures’) opening up a gaping loophole that allowed ultimate
economic beneficiaries to remain undisclosed.

India’s CJI: JUSTICE D.Y. Chandrachud – quotes.


In the Case: Romila Thapar v. Union of India
“The law is not a respecter of social, economic or political status…”

In the Case: Kalpana Mehta v. Union of India


“History and contemporary events across the world are a reminder that blackouts of
information are used as a willing ally to totalitarian excesses of power. They have no place in
a democracy.”

These statements appear hollow on the face of the obstruction of justice in the BILION $
ADANI SCAM.

Supreme court continues to be under pressure


The next hearing of the Adani-Hindenburg case will take place in the Supreme Court on 13
October
https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/adanihindenburg-case-next-hearing-in-
supreme-court-on-13-october-report-claims-11694760191641.html
Petition submitted – Conflict of Interest
The petitioner raised concerns about a possible conflict of interest involving three members
of the six-member panel.
https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/conflict-of-interest-plea-in-supreme-court-
for-fresh-panel-on-adani-probe-101695024611395.html
Extract (a limited Terms of Reference that does not touch any of the Financial Crimes)
On the subject matter of these petitions, SEBI has stated that:
SEBI is already enquiring into both, the allegations made in the Hindenburg report as well as
the market activity immediately preceding and post the publication of the report, to identify
violations of SEBI Regulations including but not limited to SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and
Unfair Trade Practices I relating to Securities Market) Regulations 2003, SEBI (Prohibition of
Insider Trading)
Regulations 2015, SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations 2019, Offshore Derivative
Instruments (ODI) norms, short selling norms, if any. As the matter is in early stages of
examination, it may not be appropriate to list details about the ongoing proceedings at this
stage.”

In view of the above statement, it appears that SEBI is seized of the investigation into the
allegations made against the Adani Group companies. SEBI has not expressly referred to an
investigation into the alleged violation of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules 1957
which provide for the maintenance of minimum public shareholding in a public limited
company. Similarly, there may
be various other allegations that SEBI must include in its investigation.

As a part of its ongoing investigation, SEBI shall also investigate the following aspects of the
issues raised in the present batch of petitions:
a. Whether there has been a violation of Rule 19A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation)
Rules 1957;
b. Whether there has been a failure to disclose transactions with related parties and other
relevant information which concerns related parties to SEBI, in accordance with law; and
c. Whether there was any manipulation of stock prices in contravention of existing laws.

The above directions shall not be construed to limit the contours of the ongoing investigation.
SEBI shall expeditiously conclude the investigation within two months and file a status report.

Further, SEBI shall apprise the expert committee (constituted in paragraph of this order) of
the action that it has taken in furtherance of the directions of this Court as well as the steps
that it has taken in furtherance of its ongoing investigation. The constitution of the expert
committee does not divest SEBI of its powers or responsibilities in continuing with its
investigation into the recent volatility in the securities market.
In Prakash Gupta (supra), we took note of the developing nature of the regulations pertaining
to the securities market. This Court noted that:
Therefore, the SEBI Act and the rules, regulations and circulars made or issued under the
legislation, are constantly evolving with a concerted aim to enforce order in the securities
market and promote its healthy growth while protecting investor wealth

In order to protect Indian investors against volatility of the kind which has been witnessed in
the recent past, we are of the view that it is appropriate to constitute an Expert Committee
for the assessment of the extant regulatory framework and for making recommendations to
strengthen it. We hereby constitute a committee consisting of the following members:
a. Mr. O P Bhatt;
b. Justice J P Devadhar (retired)
c. Mr. KV Kamath;
d. Mr. Nandan Nilekani; and
e. Mr. Somashekhar Sundaresan.
The Expert Committee shall be headed by Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre, a former judge of
the Supreme Court of India.

The remit of the Committee shall be as follows:


a. To provide an overall assessment of the situation including the relevant causal factors
which have led to the volatility in the securities market in the recent past;
b. To suggest measures to strengthen investor awareness;
c. To investigate whether there has been regulatory failure in dealing with the alleged
contravention of laws pertaining to the securities market in relation to the Adani Group or
other companies; and
d. To suggest measures to (i) strengthen the statutory and/or regulatory framework; and (ii)
secure compliance with the existing framework for the protection of investors.

The Chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Board of India is requested to ensure that all
requisite information is provided to the Committee. All agencies of the Union Government
including agencies connected with financial regulation, fiscal agencies and law enforcement
agencies shall co-operate with the Committee. The Committee is at liberty to seek recourse
to external experts in its work.

The honorarium payable to the members of the Committee shall be fixed by the Chairperson
and shall be borne by the Union Government. The Secretary, Ministry of Finance shall
nominate a senior officer who will act as a nodal officer to provide logistical assistance to the
Committee. All the expenses incurred in connection with the work of the Committee shall be
defrayed by the Union Government.
The Committee is requested to furnish its report in sealed cover to this Court within two
months.

The details in the ARTICLE below makes MUKUL Rohtagi’s statement (i) a pack of lies (b) a
criminal act as the ADANI shares were rigged soon after his malafide statement.
The SEBI was directed to probe whether the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules,
1957, were violated. The court wanted SEBI to find out whether Rule 19A, which
stipulates that every company listed in the stock market has to maintain at least 25%
public shareholding, was ignored.

Only a JPC can bring out the TRUTH about the largest Corporate Fraud in the business
history of the world.

Please note that the FINANCIAL CRIMES of the ADANI Group include the following:
Fudging of books, tax evasion, money laundering, placement-layering-integration,
Person-name change, Business entity name change, (in the context of financial
crimes),use of shell companies, 3rd party transactions, violating U.N. sanctions list,
violating ESG, internal audit failure, failure to observe Indian Companies act, Carbon
credits, FEMA (FX) act violations, IPO / FPO wrong doing, Insider Trading, Market
Manipulation, Statutory Audit Failure, intriguing Credit Rating Failure, intriguing MSCI
announcements, Political donations & cronyism (in the context of the corrupt nexus &
adani’s financial crimes).

Please compare this with the very limited scope mentioned in pages 3 and 4. The Interests
of the PEOPLE of INDIA and our should be primary focus of a complete, comprehensive
investigation

 A 2% tax on the entire wealth of India's billionaires would support the nutrition of the
country's malnourished population for the next three years, the report said.
 A 1% wealth tax could fund the National Health Mission, India's largest healthcare
scheme for more than1.5 years, it added.

 Taxing the top 100 Indian billionaires at 2.5% or taxing the top 10 Indian billionaires at
5% would nearly cover the entire amount required to bring an estimated 150 million
children back into school, Oxfam said.

 Taxing the super-rich was necessary for "reducing inequality and resuscitating
democracy"

Wealth inequality and the hierarchical distribution of income in developing countries has
long been identified as a growth barrier. The greater the gaps between strata, by this
analysis, the slower the upward mobility of families that are at lower levels. Such
economies typically experience lopsided expansion, with the positive fallout of an
economic boom on top often failing to reach those below. Sustaining growth requires the
mass mobilization of financial as well as human resources, and if inequality is acute, the
latter tend to come up short

13 ADANI SCAM – Big data View


14. For the corrupt:Participatory Notes

PARTICIPATORY NOTES aka Offshore Derivative Instruments (ODIs)


Quote (Income Tax Department – link in Page-2)
GOVERNMENT'S WHITE PAPER ON BLACK MONEY, PRESS RELEASE, DATED 16-May-2012
A Participatory Note (PN) is a derivative instrument issued in foreign jurisdictions, by a Foreign
Institutional Investor (FII) / its sub-accounts or one of its associates, against underlying Indian
securities. PNs are popular among foreign investors since they allow these investors to earn
returns on investment in the Indian market without undergoing the significant cost and time
implications of directly investing in India. These instruments are traded overseas outside the
direct purview of SEBI surveillance thereby raising many apprehensions about the beneficial
ownership and the nature of funds invested in these instruments.
Concerns have been raised that some of the money coming into the market via PNs could
be the unaccounted wealth camouflaged under the guise of FII investment. SEBI has been
taking measures to ensure that PNs are not used as conduits for black money or terrorist
funding.
Unquote

P Note is a data point for CAUSATION related to money laundering and financing of
terrorism. P Notes are one of the CAUSES for INFLATED stock prices and are a very popular
MONEY LAUNDERING tool. Since 2014, TRILLION$ have been laundered via INDIA’s stock
markets. It is imporatnt to note that the FLOW OF TAINTED FUNDS is via SHELL companies in
many cases.

The MP had asked, "Whether it is a fact that three funds namely Albula Investment Fund Ltd,
Cresta Fund Ltd, and APMS Investment Fund Ltd are in the SEBI frozen list of May and 15th
June but a clarification is issued by NSDL that these accounts are not frozen in the case of
Adani companies and if so, the details thereof?"
Responding to this, Mr Chaudhary, the minister says, "In a matter pertaining to issuances of
global depository receipt (GDR) by certain Indian listed companies, SEBI vide order dated 16
June 2016 had directed depositories to freeze particular beneficiary accounts of certain FPIs
including Albula Investment Fund, Cresta Fund, and APMS Investment Fund. However, no
order in respect of other beneficiary accounts of these three FPIs has been passed by SEBI."
Ms Moitra, the MP, has also asked the question whether people associated with the
Monterosa Group, AlastairGuggenbuh1-Even, Eric Widmer, Martinde Quevain, Florian
Linner are under investigation by the agencies.

However, the minister told her that none of these people is under any investigation.

SEBI in Supreme Court – Self-inflicted wounds; under IMMENSE pressure


Adani-Hindenburg case: Haven’t probed any Adani company since 2016, SEBI tells
Supreme Court
https://indianexpress.com/article/india/adani-hindenburg-supreme-court-case-sebi-
8610073/
This means: SEBI did NOT investigate Adani’s flow of illicit funds using APMS, ELARA,
ALBULA, CRESTA.
Four Mauritius-based funds that have attracted attention for parking almost all their money
in companies controlled by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani have a history of investing in
firms which ended up defaulting or were investigated for wrongdoing.
Before they put about 90% of their $6.9 billion under management in the Adani empire, the
funds -- Elara India Opportunities Fund, Cresta Fund, Albula Investment Fund and APMS
Investment Fund -- held significant stakes in two companies whose founders fled India and
have since been probed for money laundering, another that went bankrupt, and a fourth
that was liquidated after sparring with the Ethiopian government.
Because the funds are registered in the tax haven of Mauritius, their ownership structure is
opaque. Cresta, Albula and Elara have been subject to at least one probe for alleged round-
tripping, Firstpost website reported in 2018. This is a process illegal under Indian rules
where money is transferred typically to a shell company before being returned, giving the
impression the funds originate from a clean source. Indian authorities struggled to identify
who ultimately controls the money, according to the report.
What is SEBI’s investigating?
SEBI also said in its plea that the following investigations would require further time for the
conclusion thereof:
 Possible violations related to Related Party Transactions (RPT) Disclosures
 Possible violations of Corporate Governance related matters.
 Possible violation of Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norms.
 Possible share price manipulations.
 Possible violations of FPI Regulations.
 Possible violations of ODI Norms.
 Possible violations of Insider Trading Regulations/FUTP Regulations.
 Possible violations of norms of short selling.
The regulatory body has also requested a detailed examination of the following:
 Financial statements of listed entities and unlisted entities
 Financial statements of offshore entities involved in the transactions.
 Disclosures filed with the stock exchanges including annual reports, balance sheets,
quarterly financial statements and other event-based disclosures.
 Minutes of the meetings of their Board of Directors and Audit Committee, wherever
applicable
 Bank statements of the concerned entities for the relevant period. (The allegations
span over a 10-year period)
 Connections/relations are amongst entities, both domestic and overseas.
 Contracts and agreements, if any, are entered between the entities along with other
supporting documents.

More than 3.82 lakh companies struck off till financial year 2020-21 in Special Drives taken
by Registrar of Companies
Posted On: 15 MAR 2022 4:35PM by PIB Delhi
Under the Special Drives taken by Registrar of Companies, 3,82,875 number of companies
ware struck off u/s 248 (1) of the Companies Act till the financial year 2020-21. This was
stated by Union Minister of State for Corporate Affairs Shri Rao Inderjit Singh in a written
reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
Explaining further, the Minister stated that there is no definition of the term “Shell Company”
in the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act). It normally refers to a company without active business
operation or significant assets, which in some cases are used for illegal purpose such as tax
evasion, money laundering, obscuring ownership, benami properties etc. The Special Task
Force set up by the Government to look into the issue of “Shell Companies” has, inter-alia,
recommended the use of certain red flag indicators as alerts for identification of suspected
Shell Companies.
The Minister stated that the Government has undertaken Special Drives for identification and
strike off Companies by invoking the provisions of section 248 (1) of the Companies Act.
Giving more details, the Minister stated that the Registrar of Companies (RoC) struck off those
companies after following the due process of law from the Register of companies when RoC
has reasonable cause to believe that those companies are not carrying on any business or
operation for a period of two, immediately preceding financial years. The RoC also verifies
that such company has not made any application within such period for obtaining the status
of a dormant company under Section 455 of the Act.

Advising shareholders of four Adani group firms to vote against a number of resolutions
including the reappointment of Gautam Adani as managing director of Adani Ports & Special
Economic Zone (APSEZ), IiAS had stated that Rohatgi did not have ''the requisite experience
to audit'' a top company.
''We raise concerns over the quality of the audit conducted since the signing partner of FY22

Accountants of India) in 2018. We believe he does not have the requisite experience to
audit the financial statements of a NIFTY 100 company,'' it had said.

29. ADANI’s P.R. Machine

Kekst CNC is providing global strategic communications and crisis support to Adani Group,
the India-based conglomerate. Kekst’s mandate is to help the group regain investor trust by
laying out the proper context, not just on the Hindenburg allegations but other concerns that
have swirled around the fundamental strength of the business, a person familiar with the
matter said.
Kekst is working with Adani’s C-suite and communications team, and could put them through
a “situation room” — the firm’s term for a simulated crisis in which executives are bombarded
with tweets, calls from journalists and other stressful developments, said the person, who
asked not to be named as they’re not authorized to speak publicly.

Funding Adani makes you complicit in the destruction of our sacred sites.” Coedie McAvoy,
Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodian, in his message to BlackRock.

BlackRock have ignored the consequences of investing in Adani for long enough - we will
make sure
there is no way they can ignore this message. People power has been keeping Adani’s coal
in the ground for years, and we will
keep working to make sure Adani’s expansion is ultimately stopped.
