The National Spot Exchange limited(NSEl) scam is a serious issue as it affected several persons, the Bombay High Court observed on Thursday, even as a demand was made for a probe into the beleaguered bourse's alleged malpractice in settlements procedures.
The CBI, meanwhile, gave indications that it might close its inquiry into alleged irregularities and duping of customers by NSEl, which is at the centre of a Rs 5,600-crore payout scam, to avoid multiplicity of investigations.The Bombay High Court made the observation on the scam while directing the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Finance Ministry and Forward Market Commission (FMC) to file their affidavits in reply to a PIl seeking CBI probe in it.
