The e-voting of unit-holders of six debt schemes of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund (FTMF), which started on 26th December and would conclude on 29 December 2020, appears to be turned into a farce by FTMF, especially when the market regulator has been playing the role of a mute spectator. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has appointed TS Krishnamurthy, former chief election commissioner (CEC) as observer for the e-voting process and issued a statement on 26th December when the e-voting process had commenced. This move came a day after the Chennai Financial Markets and Accountability (CFMA) moved an urgent application before the Supreme Court (SC) against SEBI for not appointing an observer for the e-voting.
CFMA to Move SC to Scrap Franklin Templeton E-Voting on 6 Shut Funds

Chennai Financial Markets and Accountability (CFMA), an investor protection body, said it would move an urgent interim application in the Supreme Court on Monday, seeking to nullify the entire e-voting process initiated by Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund (FTMF) on its six shut debt funds.
The investor body alleged that the announcement by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) of appointing former Chief Election Commissioner T.S. Krishnamurthy as an observer was an eyewash as it came after the e-voting began on Saturday. It is against the letter and spirit of the order passed by the Supreme Court on December 9. It is akin to appointing a presiding officer after the election, it added.
