    3. Further, during the examination, upon an analysis of the order-log and trade-log the sellingbehaviour/ pattern of 15 sellers (hereinafter collectively referred to as " sellers ") prima facieappeared to be suspicious . It was observed that price of the scrip was influenced by these sellers

    while trading in the scrip of Radford by selling either miniscule number of shares per day with

    very less quantity vis-à-vis their shareholding or by controlling the trade volume of the scrip. The selling pattern of these sellersis exemplified in the table below:

    4. The above mentioned selling pattern of the sellers appeared to be even more surprising in lightof the fact that almost on all dates when the above trades were executed, there was a huge

    demand for the shares of Radford and buyers had continuously placed large buy orders onupper circuit. It is noted that during Pre-patch Ithe percentage of sell orders in comparison tothe buy orders was miniscule as can be seen in the table below:

    5. It is also noted that during Pre-Patch I,on most of the days, buy orders were placed on the stockexchange platform as soon as the trading session began, whereas the sell orders by the sellers

    were placed much later on the respective days. Few instances of placement of such buy orders

    at the beginning of the trading session are mentioned below:

    Table 3: Instances of early placement of buy orders.

    6. From the above description and tables, the following was observed with respect to the sellers :

    a. Despite there being a huge demand for the shares of Radford and the sellers : holding largenumber of shares of Radford, some of the sellers sold shares in miniscule quantities on

    various occasions and thereby controlled the supply of shares.b. During Pre-Patch I (having 121 trading days) the sellers traded on 72 trading days and

    executed 84 trades. Out of these 72 days, on 64 days the sellers contributed to 100% of thedaily traded volume.

    c. Some of the sellers sold shares only to maintain the average daily volume. For instance, on17 trading days (when the average trading volume was 98 shares) the sellers sold 100 sharesonly despite holding large number of shares and there being large number of buy orders.

    d. The selling behaviour of the sellers also exhibited a suspicious sequential pattern i.e. in spiteof a huge demand for the shares during Pre-Patch I , most of the sellers did not sell theirshares together in one period. In fact, they sequentially sold their shares in such a mannerthat one seller stopped selling when the other started selling its/his/her shares. Thesuspicious trading pattern of the sellers is shown in Annexure A.

    7. It prima facieappears from the above observations that the sellers were selling their shares in anabnormal / non-genuine manner and were acting under a pre-determined plan to

    fix/manipulate the price of the scrip of Radford.

    6/23

    Order in the matter of Radford Global Limited Page 6 of 23

    8. In addition to the above observations, during the examination, certain discrepancies werenoticed regarding the source of acquisition of the shares by the sellers . In this regard, thefollowing facts are noteworthy:

    a)

    It is a matter of record that trading in the scrip of Radford was suspended on BombayStock Exchange Limited (“BSE”), the only stock exchange where it is listed, from January14, 2003 to December 19, 2011 for non-compliance of the equity listing agreement.

    According to Radford, its current promoters had taken over it in year 2011 and it hadappointed Universal Capital Securities Limited, as Registrar and Transfer Agent (hereinafterreferred as "RTA") in January 2012. At that time, the company handed over the shareholderlist (hereinafter referred as "RTA List") to RTA.

    b) It was found that 236 shareholder records were having record name as "abeyance" in RTAList. These 236 abeyance records (amounting to total of 1,38,400 shares) had the same folionumber i.e. 13518.

    c) When inquired about the justification for the abeyance records, Radford submitted that“when the current management of Radford received the data from the prior management pertaining to thedetails of the shareholders, they noticed that there were no details such as name, folio nos. etc. for 1,38,400shares. Hence, Radford had put these shares under abeyance and requested RTA not to reject any requestmade by the shareholder whose names are not appearing in the share master data submitted by the companyto RTA ” .

    d) Contrary to the aforesaid reason provided by Radford, the list submitted by the old

    management to Registrar of Companies ("RoC") in year 2010 had the completeshareholders’ list with details and did not contain any shareholding in “ abeyance” category .

    e) RTA, vide its letter to SEBI dated August 14, 2015, stated that the RTA List provided byRadford to it had one record named “abeyance” in different distinctive number ranges andsame folio number. According to the RTA, when it sought the explanation in respect ofthese shares from Radford, it replied that it did not have proper control over theirdistinctive number master. Further, Radford had advised the RTA to point out any suchdiscrepancies before rejecting the request from investor for transfer or demat. Furthermore,the said letter states that only after verification of folio number, number of shares andshareholder's name, Radford or RTA issued new certificate to the shareholder requestingthe transfer or demat. It is strange to note that RTA approved the share transfers, requestsfor demat and issuance of new share certificates without ascertaining the authenticity ofentities from whom the sellers apparently received the shares i.e. without sellers confirmationnotice and without checking the details like folio number, number of shares, name,distinctive numbers, etc.

    f) The latest available shareholder list as on January 1, 2012 on MCA website was that of the Annual General Meeting held by Radford in 2010. This list was submitted by Radford to

    RoC in the year 2010 (hereinafter referred to as "MCA List"). This MCA list did not containany abeyance records. On a comparison of the MCA list with the shareholders' master list

  • 8/20/2019 Order in the matter of Radford Global Ltd

    7/23

    Order in the matter of Radford Global Limited Page 7 of 23

    provided by Radford to RTA in January 2012, most of shareholders ’ names were notmatching.

    g) It is surprising to note that majority of shareholders (1,976 shareholders in total) of Radfordin RTA List in year 2011 were different from those appearing in the MCA list (submitted

    to RoC in 2010) especially when the scrip was suspended on BSE.h) The Depositories (CDSL and NSDL) informed that first demat for the scrip of Radford

    happened only in January 2012.i) There was no apparent reason for the abeyance records to suddenly appear in the

    shareholder’s list submitted by new management of Radford to RTA.j) Certain complaints have also been received by SEBI from shareholders alleging that

    Radford had issued duplicate shares in lieu of original certificates held by them to somethird party and is now refusing to transfer shares in their name.

    9. Upon noticing the aforesaid discrepancies regarding the source of shares of the sellers , thephysical share certificates of the sellers were also examined. The examination revealed severalfactors which prima facieindicate that the share certificates held by the sellers were not genuine.

    The said factors (details whereof are provided in Annexure B) are summarized as under:a. The company/RTA was not able to furnish necessary documentary evidence which was

    relied upon by it/them to ascertain the genuineness of shareholding of a few sellers whosename was not there in the MCA list namely, Rajeev Garg, Veena Mohandas Valbhani,Bharatkumar Jayantilal Shah and Ramila Gandhi. However, as per the photocopy of share

    certificate submitted by Radford, they were its shareholders since May 1995.b. The names of three entities (Veena Mohandas Valbhani, Bharatkumar Jayantilal Shah and

    Ramila Gandhi) were not part of the mailing list of shareholders for communication givenby the new management of Radford to RTA.

    c. The physical share certificate of Manisha Jayesh Shah furnished by Radford had a stickerof PS Global Ltd affixed on share certificate of Rossette Resorts Ltd. This is a deviationfrom the practice followed by Radford of issuing new share certificate in lieu of oldcertificate.

    d. Company / RTA failed to produce any documentary evidence for establishing genuinenessof the transfer of shares from earlier shareholder to Artiben S Kansara.

    e. Contradictory statements were given by RTA with respect to transfer of shares made to Anup Manilal Shah (HUF).

    f. Certain sellers namely, Hari Mohan Khandelwal, Kanaiyalal Manilal Gandhi, RekhabenLakhabhai Sagparia, Rekhaben Lakhabhai Sagparia, Mansukhbhai Jagabhai Tanti andPragna Patel were issued shares from abeyance list. Their names did not appear either inthe MCA List or the RTA List. When inquired, Radford /RTA were not able to furnishany documentary evidence to justify how they ascertained the genuineness of these

    shareholders. This is also in contradiction with the RTA's policy of verification while

  • 8/20/2019 Order in the matter of Radford Global Ltd

    8/23

    Order in the matter of Radford Global Limited Page 8 of 23

    transferring or dematerializing, wherein such policy, prima facie , does not appear to befollowed.

    g. Dina Satishkumar Mehta and Priya Sanghvi held shares with the same folio number inMCA list as well as in RTA list. These two entities did not have any transaction with each

    other.h. As per Radford’s board of directors’ resolution dated February 15, 2012, it had authorized

    its company secretary and RTA to sign the share certificate of the company. In fewinstances signatures on physical share certificates of the RTA/company's authorizedpersonnel were missing.

    10. From the facts and circumstances discussed in the preceding paragraphs, it is prima facie inferredthat the share certificates held by the sellers were not genuine. In this regard, it is pertinent tonote that the stationary of the physical share certificate was controlled by Radford only. Also,as seen from the physical share certificates, Radford did not number the share certificates withconsecutive serial numbers. Thus, it appears that Radford was involved in issuance of non-genuine share certificates held by the sellers . This finding is further strengthened by the factthat Radford did not provide any information to SEBI when it was asked to furnish its IPOallotment list and other relevant details.

    11. In this case, it is a matter of record that during Pre-Patch I, the price of the shares of Radfordrose from ₹ 3.20, to ₹ 241.35. From the acts and conduct of the sellers discussed above, I prima

    facie find that they played a crucial role in pushing the price of scrip of Radford to such highlevels especially by controlling the supply of shares. Their suspicious acts selling shares inminiscule quantities despite there being a huge demand, contributing to 100% trading volumeon most of the days, placing trades in a manner so as to maintain the daily average volume andnot letting the liquidity dry out by sequentially selling shares clearly show that their sellingpattern was not normal and was prima faciedirected towards pushing up the price of the scripof Radford. The same is further corroborated by the fact that the share certificates held by thesellers were prima facie not genuine. The involvement of Radford in issuance of non-genuinecertificates to these sellers signifies that the sellers carried out the aforesaid acts in collusion with

    Radford, its promoters and directors.

    12. As noted in the interim order dated December 19, 2014, Radford and other entities named thereinmisused the securities market system to artificially increase price of the scrip for providing longterm capital gain (“LTCG”) benefits to the preferential allottees of Radford. As discussedabove, the sellers played a crucial role in increasing the price of the scrip. I, therefore prima faciefind that the sellers were also a part of the scheme, plan, device and artifice employed in relationto the scrip of Radford and described in the interim order dated December 19, 2014.

    9/23

    13. Considering the above, I am of the prima facie view that the acts of the sellers discussedhereinabove are ‘fraudulent’ as defined under regulation 2(1)(c) of the Securities and ExchangeBoard of India (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to SecuritiesMarket) Regulations, 2003 (‘the PFUTP Regulations” ) and are in contravention of the

    provisions of regulations 3(a), (b), (c) and (d) and 4(1), 4(2)(a), (b) and (e) thereof and section12A(a), (b) and (c) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992. The said provisionsare reproduced hereunder:-

    SEBI ACTProhibition of manipulative and deceptive devices, insider trading and substantialacquisition of securities or control."12A. No person shall directly or indirectly — (a) use or employ, in connection with the issue, purchase or sale of any securities listed or proposed to belisted on a recognized stock exchange, any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in contraventionof the provisions of this Act or the rules or the regulations made there under;(b) employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud in connection with issue or dealing in securities which arlisted or proposed to be listed on a recognised stock exchange;(c) engage in any act, practice, course of business which operates or would operate as fraud or deceit uponany person, in connection with the issue, dealing in securities which are listed or proposed to be listed on arecognised stock exchange, in contravention of the provisions of this Act or the rules or the regulations madethere under;"

    PFUTP Regulations"3. Prohibition of certain dealings in securities

    No person shall directly or indirectly — (a) buy, sell or otherwise deal in securities in a fraudulent manner;(b) use or employ, in connection with issue, purchase or sale of any security listed or proposed to be listed ina recognized stock exchange, any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in contravention of the

    provisions of the Act or the rules or the regulations made there under;(c) employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud in connection with dealing in or issue of securities whicare listed or proposed to be listed on a recognized stock exchange;(d) engage in any act, practice, course of business which operates or would operate as fraud or deceit uponany person in connection with any dealing in or issue of securities which are listed or proposed to be listed ona recognized stock exchange in contravention of the provisions of the Act or the rules and the regulationsmade there under.

    4. Prohibition of manipulative, fraudulent and unfair trade practices(1) Without prejudice to the provisions of regulation 3, no person shall indulge in a fraudulent or an unfair

    trade practice in securities.

  • 8/20/2019 Order in the matter of Radford Global Ltd

    10/23

    Order in the matter of Radford Global Limited Page 10 of 23

    (2) Dealing in securities shall be deemed to be a fraudulent or an unfair trade practice if it involves fraudand may include all or any of the following, namely: — (a) indulging in an act which creates false or misleading appearance of trading in the securities market;(b) dealing in a security not intended to effect transfer of beneficial ownership but intended to operate only as

    a device to inflate, depress or cause fluctuations in the price of such security for wrongful gain or avoidanceof loss;….

    (e) any act or omission amounting to manipulation of the price of a security; ”

    14. I am of the opinion that the ongoing investigation in the matter should also cover the entirescheme discussed hereinabove to find out the role of any other entity therein including RTA,connection amongst the concerned entities and other related aspects of the matter.

    15. SEBI strives to safeguard the interest of genuine investors in the Indian securities market. I amof the opinion that, while investigation in the matter is underway, allowing the sellers who are

    prima faciefound to be involved in such fraudulent, unfair and manipulative transactions tocontinue to operate in the market is inimical to the interests of participants in the securitiesmarket and would shake the confidence of the investors in the securities market. Consideringthe facts and circumstances, I deem it a fit case where, pending investigation, effective andexpeditious preventive action is required to be taken by way of ad interim ex-partein order toprotect the interests of investors and preserve the safety and integrity of the market.

    16. In view of the foregoing, in order to protect the interest of the investors and the integrity ofthe securities market, I, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me in terms of sections 11(1),11(4) and 11B read with section 19 of the SEBI Act, pending inquiry/investigation and passingof final order in the matter, hereby restrain the following persons from accessing the securitiesmarket and buying, selling or dealing in securities, either directly or indirectly, in any manner,till further directions.
