MUMBAI: SEBI has slapped 
1 crore fine on one Sendhaji J. Thakor for failing to furnish information sought by the capital markets regulator in matters related to SEL Manufacturing.
Mr. Thakor failed to give necessary information including details of trading in the scrips of SEL, whether he was allotted any share of the company in the IPO and copy of demat accounts among others sought by SEBI.
“...even though two summonses were served on the noticee, noticee neither appeared before the Investigating Authority nor produced the books of accounts/documents /information to the IA... inspite of service of summonses the noticee failed to cooperate with the IA,” SEBI said in its order.
Accordingly, the regulator levied the fine of 1 crore on Thakor.

In a separate order, the regulator has imposed a penalty of 5 lakh on Varun Shipping Company for failing to redress investor grievances within the prescribed time period.
“...allegation that the noticee failed to redress the grievance of its investors within the specified period of 30 days as alleged in the show cause notice is established against the noticee,” SEBI said.
