Attention to the risk of market fluctuations
Keeping in mind the risk of market fluctuations, the High Court has allowed the concerned companies to submit a proposal before the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The court acknowledged that if listed shares and market-based investments are kept frozen indefinitely, their value may be affected by market volatility. Keeping this view in mind, the court has given importance to the protection of economic interests of the properties even during the pending proceedings.
What is the matter related to Hari Shankar Tibrewal?
This matter is also in the news because it is related to industrialist Hari Shankar Tibrewal. Although the final decision on the merits of the case is yet to be taken by the competent authorities concerned, this observation of the High Court reflects a balanced and pragmatic approach towards the protection of invested assets.
The High Court’s approach in this case involving an investment portfolio of ₹423 crore provides new strength to the concept of asset value protection. The order indicates that measures to protect the true economic value of properties should also be considered during lengthy legal processes.
Judicial balance of the court on the economic front
This approach of the court is being considered an important step towards establishing coordination between judicial balance, economic practicality and value protection of properties. This also sends the message that along with keeping the assets safe during the legal process, it is equally important to protect their economic value.
