The Supreme Court on Friday set aside an order directing Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) to disgorge Rs 447.27 crore in a matter relating to the trading of Reliance Petroleum Ltd (RPL) shares in 2007. The apex court partly allowed the appeal filed by RIL challenging a November 2020 order of the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT), Mumbai. The SAT, by a 2:1 majority order, dismissed RIL's appeal against the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI )'s March 24, 2017, order relating to the sale of RPL shares in November 2007. The top court said the SAT, in its majority verdict, committed an "egregious error" in passing the judgement insofar as the question of fraud under Regulations 3 and 4 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market), 2003 (PFUTP) is concerned. "However, we concur with the SAT's observations in its majority judgment as regards the penalty to be levied on the appellant number 1 (R
