by any Court of law, are required to pay the entire fees and interest payable
by them up to financial year 2003-04 by
December 31, 2003, failing which, appropriate action as permissible under
the SEBI Act, 1992, the SEBI (Stock brokers and Sub-brokers) Regulations, 1992
read with the SEBI (Procedure for Holding Enquiry by Enquiry Officer and
