The Kirloskar companies' decision to legally challenge SEBI's order to disclose a family settlement deed raises concerns over corporate transparency. By resisting disclosure of key family settlement agreements, the companies risk undermining regulatory accountability and facilitating a corporate environment that may shelter family-controlled interests from oversight. This behavior can contribute to broader patterns of regulatory capture and a lack of accountability that aligns with authoritarian corporate practices.
