The Special Committee works under the aegis of the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay.

The Special Committee has now taken up the task to make repayments to the investors who have invested the amount up to Rs. 10,000/- and clamed. The special committee is in the process of preparing figure scheme. However, unless the schemes already framed and sanctioned by the Hon’ble high court of Bombay are implemented and sufficient funds are at hand or are likely to be received out of settlements with the debtors of company, the committee cannot frame future scheme.

As per the policy approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the practice followed in all such cases of de mergers, the Exchange sought from EICL, a valuation certificate, indicating fair value of its equity shares.

In view of the above, in the overall interest of the Market and investors and to enable market to arrive at the fair price level in a faster manner, the Exchange reset the circuit filter on trading of EICl’s shares from 5% to 20% effective from March 3, 2008, vide the Exchange’s circular dated February 28, 2008.
