A bench led by DY Chandrachud, the Chief Justice of India, suggested that court cannot doubt market watchdog’s probe into the case by relying merely on a few media reports but said the market regulator Sebi must complete the probe in all 24 cases. Earlier in its status report on August 25, Sebi suggested that it had completed its investigation in 22 out of the 24 cases.
