affixture on its registered office address. However, the company chose not to appear for the personal
hearing on the scheduled date. Another opportunity of personal hearing was granted to the noticee on
January 28, 2016. However, the company again chose not to appear for the personal hearing on the
scheduled date. I note that sufficient opportunities have been granted to the company and it is not keen
to avail the same. I note that the company has not even filed any written reply/submission to the SCN.
In view of these facts and circumstances, I deem it appropriate to decide the matter on the basis of
material available on record.
5. I note that the company has not obtained SCORES authentication, as required under SEBI circular
dated August 13, 2012, till date. I further note from the SCN that there were seven investor complaints
pending against the company for redressal.
6. I note that the investor complaints are pending unresolved since the year 1997. In addition to the
obligations under the provisions of Companies Act, the company is also under an obligation to redress
all investor complaints in terms of the advice/directions of SEBI, in view of the provisions of section 11
of the SEBI Act. However, the company has not shown any tenacity in resolving the investor grievances
and in spite of repeated advice of SEBI, the said investor grievances are pending till date.
7. Failure to redress investor grievances, by a listed company adversely affects the confidence of investors
in the securities market. In view of the foregoing, I am of the view that it is a fit case to issue
appropriate directions under section 11B of the SEBI Act against the company as contemplated in the
show cause notice issued to it. I, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me under section
19 of the SEBI Act read with sections 11 and 11B thereof, hereby restrain and prohibit Lawa Coated
Papers Limited from accessing the securities market and from buying, selling or dealing in securities,
directly or indirectly, in whatsoever manner, till it obtains SCORES authentication in terms of the SEBI
circular dated August 13, 2012 and resolves all the investor grievances pending against it. The aforesaid
direction is without prejudice to any other action that may be taken against the company and its
directors in accordance with law.
8. This Order shall come into force with immediate effect. A copy of this Order shall also be served upon
the depositories and stock exchanges for necessary action.
