"An explanation has been sought from the member as to why the order was placed at a price higher than prevailing price in the market which could have misled the market," it said.
The bourse further said that on Monday (July 5), at the time of market opening, a trading member's dealer placed a manual buy order for Nifty Near Month Futures in the first few seconds upon opening of the market at a price which was significantly higher than the prevailing price in the market.
