BSE and NSE had in similar circulars yesterday said,

shares of these companies would be moved out of GSM (Graded

Surveillance Measures) framework and made available for

trading with effect from August 11.

The move came after the Securities Appellate Tribunal

(SAT) yesterday stayed trading restrictions imposed on these

companies, which figured in the list of 331 "suspected shell

companies" referred by the government to Sebi.

Sebi, on August 7, asked stock exchanges to restrict

trading in shares of 331 "suspected shell companies", some of

which have investments by several well-known domestic and

foreign investors.

Subsequently, the exchanges had moved such stocks to the

highest sixth grade of GSM, where the shares are allowed to

trade only on first Monday of the month with no upward

movement in price with Additional Surveillance Deposit of 200

per cent of trade value to be deposited by the buyers.

JKumar Infraprojects and Prakash Industries had moved the

SAT against the Sebi directions.
