A bench headed by justice P.V. Hardas asked the petitioner to make NSEL a respondent and asked the latter to file a reply.

He said the NS alleged case pertained to financial embezzlements by the Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd and Financial Technologies (India) Limited—both promoted by Jignesh Shah. Rio
