PIL petitioner Vishal Tiwari said “Today SEBI has submitted the status report of the investigation to the apex court. In which all the investigations done by SEBI have been told. SEBI was supposed to submit the adjudication report today but SEBI has not given any such adjudication report along with the status report. So this status report can be considered as information only. Were any irregularities found in Adani Group? Were there any other companies that were found to have any irregularities? How true was the Hindenburg Report? etc. All these were to come in the conclusion of the SEBI report but have not been filed by SEBI with this status report. Now when the matter comes up for hearing on August 29, all these points will be raised as the status report submitted is just incomplete information.”
