SC upholds RIL fine on Jio-Facebook deal

A Supreme Court bench declined to intervene.

(MINT)

A bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi declined to intervene, noting that the order rested entirely on factual findings and did not raise any substantial question of law.

On 20 June 2022, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) imposed penalties on RIL compliance officers, Savithri Parekh and K. Sethuraman, for allegedly violating the Sebi (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. It found RIL had failed to promptly disclose unpublished price-sensitive information on Facebook's investment negotiations with Jio Platforms, particularly after details were reported in international media in March 2020.
