Vinay Kumar and Others Vs. General Manager, Northern Railway and Other ...

Court: Central Administrative Tribunal Principal Bench New Delhi

Decided on: May-08-2014

P.K. Basu, Member (A) By this common order, we propose to dispose of OA 382/2014 and OA 824/2014 together as facts and issues involved in both the OAs are identical. Facts have, however, been extracted from OA 382/2014. 2. The respondents had issued an advertisement vide notification dated 30.08.2012 inviting applications from eligible candidates for recruitment to 7368 posts in various Divisions/ Workshops/ Units under the respondents organization. The applicants appeared in the recruitment test held during November-December, 2013 but have been issued rejection letters on the ground of being 100% blind. It is the contention of the applicants that they are eligible and entitled to be considered both on their general merit as also against the reservation for visually handicapped persons against 1% quota for them. The applicants have also filed MA 1091/2014 in which it has been stated that OA 467/2014 was also filed involving the same controversy with regard to exclusion of 100% blind fr...

Court: SEBI Securities and Exchange Board of India or Securities Appellate Tribunal SAT

Decided on: May-08-2014

J.P. Devadhar, Presiding Officer (Oral) 1. This appeal is filed to challenge order of Adjudicating Officer of SEBI dated January 23, 2014 whereby penalty of Rs. 12 Lakhs has been imposed upon Appellant under Section 15A(b) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992. Grievance of the Appellant is that the acquisition of shares in the present case was by way of transmission and not by transfer and therefore provisions of SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 1992 and SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 2011 were not attracted. Learned counsel for appellant further relies upon a decision passed by the Adjudicating Officer of SEBI dated November 29, 2013 in the case of Shri D.S. Reddy / Ms. D. Sarojanamma wherein a lenient view was taken by not imposing penalty and Ms. D. Sarojanamma was exonerated from the charges levelled against her in the show case notice. Since the above order was not brought to the notice of Adjudicating Office...

Application Applicant seeks modification of our order dated April 29, 2014.
