Market regulator Sebi has settled the case against one Meenakshi Sud after she made a payment of about Rs 7.24 lakh for allegedly not making the requisite disclosures regarding her shareholding in SR Industries Ltd.
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said that it is settling the matter against Sud, " without admitting or denying the guilt on the part of the Notice (Sud) to the finding of fact or conclusion of law ".

It was alleged that as on April 8, 2011, Sud had acquired about 1.51 lakh shares of the company due to which her stake in the company increased from 4.19 per cent to 5.39 per cent.
According to the norms, as her shareholding crossed 5 per cent, she was required to make disclosures to the company and to the concerned stock exchange.
Sebi had alleged that Sud did not make the necessary disclosures.
