If ETI had been operating in violation of the finanacial controlling authorty since 2011 that is more than 6 years what steps did the authority take to bring it under control now.
If the management board made up of the family is resopnsible for violating the fin ancial lawa they ought to prosecuted and not allowed seek protection by its memorandum about not being liable for the outstanding debts to the investors which has run to byllions of rupees.
Until these debts are reconciled they ought to prosecuted amd jailed until their debts are reconciled. Further the action taken by the Internal Revenue Department has taken any action against ETI for their failure to comply with its regulations.
