The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has cleared four directors of Akash Infra-Projects Limited of market manipulation and fraud allegations, concluding that there is insufficient evidence to sustain the charges. The Adjudicating Officer passed an order on July 28, 2026, under Section 15-I of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, read with Rule 5 of the SEBI (Procedure for Holding Inquiry and Imposing Penalties) Rules, 1995. Consequently, no penalty was imposed on Yoginbhai Patel, Ambusinh Gol, Premalsinh Gol, or Dineshbhai Patel.
This resolution concludes a regulatory scrutiny that began with a Show Cause Notice issued to the directors, first intimated by the company on May 1, 2025. The alleged violations pertained to Section 12A(a), 12A(b), and 12A(c) of the SEBI Act, in conjunction with Regulations 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), and 3(d) and Regulation 4(1), 4(2)(a), 4(2)(k), and 4(2)(r) of the SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Related to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003 (PFUTP). The Adjudicating Officer’s finding of lack of evidence effectively dismisses these specific contraventions.
