"Under section 55 of the Companies Act, Sebi also has jurisdiction to look into matters related to securities," the ministry noted. At the same time, the ministry asked the regulator for details of its own investigation to initiate appropriate action. Sebi, in its letter to the Corporate Affairs Ministry earlier, had said that the matter of "irregular issue of privately placed debenture (PPD) IV and V by RIL" are being referred for "consideration and appropriate action." The regulator had separately taken the opinion of retired Supreme Court judge Justice B N Srikrishna on its probe.
