Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub Brokers) Rules and Regulations, 1992, affirming that they were validly enacted despite the challenge based on Section 31 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992. The Court clarified that the requirement to lay rules before Parliament does not invalidate the rules if not complied with, as long as they serve the purpose of the Act. The appeals against the High Court's judgments were dismissed, confirming the legality of the regulations.
