Adani, SEBI, and two reports: A whirlwind of legal controversy
In this edition of our flagship article series #SIMPLIFIED, we are excited to bring to you on "Adani, SEBI, and two reports: A whirlwind of legal controversy"
Ever wondered about the tsunami of controversies surrounding Adani Enterprises due to the explosive Hindenburg and OCCRP reports? SEBI is investigating violations by Adani, but complexities arising from its limited regulatory power over foreign analysts has put it in a very, very sticky situation while trying to do anything about companies like Hindenburg. The intricacies of this situation also raises some questions about the changes made in 2018 to FPI regulations.
What could be the ideal approach for SEBI in such cases? Should there be stricter regulations, that would apply to foreign analysts as well, or would that be a futile exercise when it comes to enforcement? How can companies like Adani protect their interests amidst such controversies tarnishing their image?
Our authors Ch. Paramjit Mishra and Siddharth Sengupta raise some thought-provoking questions in our #Simplified 18 'Adani, SEBI, and two reports: A whirlwind of legal controversy'
Sit back and let our author guide you through the complicated web of predicaments surrounding the Adani-Hindenburg story.

CAN A MERGER BE UNILATERALLY ENFORCED?: DECODING THE SONY-ZEE MERGER CRISIS
In this edition of our flagship article series #SIMPLIFIED, we are excited to bring to you 'Can a merger be unilaterally enforced?: Decoding the Sony-Zee merger crisis'
In this edition, we take a deep dive into the dramatic tale of the billion-dollar merger between television giants Sony and Zee. Initially, it seemed like a perfect match but just when everything seemed smooth, a dramatic twist hit, and the merger was suddenly off the table.
But wait, there’s another twist! Zee has taken the matter to the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai, seeking enforcement of the merger. Can a tribunal unilaterally enforce a merger? And after all this hostility, do the members and creditors of both companies even want the merger anymore? Would tribunal enforcement undermine corporate governance?

ABOUT #SIMPLIFIED
The envisionment of #Simplified owes origins to LexTech - Centre for Law, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (LexTech). Back then, the endeavour was commenced to promote simplified disbursement of business news. LexTech, then led by Shashvat Prakash (Batch of 2023), executed the first issue of #Simplified. After which, Arshit Kapoor (Batch of 2023) who then led the Centre for Corporate Law (CCL) proposed the collaboration of CCL with LexTech on the #Simplified.
The rationale was to promote the intersection of business and law. The collaboration simplified business updates and connected the business with the law in an uncomplicated manner. In fact, CCL introduced 'infographics' in the #Simplified for further simplification of business updates.
After collaborating on four successful editions, CCL is pleased to announce exclusive management of #Simplified. Henceforth, #Simplified would roll out as an independent initiative managed by CCL. Team CCL looks forward to igniting curiosity in the minds of law students with upcoming editions of #Simplified!
