Supreme Court upholds SEBI probe, turns focus on ‘conduct’ of Hindenburg

The direction came in a 46-page judgment based on petitions claiming “precipitate decline” in investor wealth and volatility in the share market due to a fall in the share prices of the Adani Group following a report published by “activist short seller” Hindenburg Research on January 24, 2023.
