Supreme Court of India orders CBI and ED to probe ADAG insolvency settlements

Change
Supreme Court of India directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to jointly investigate insolvency settlements in which Rs 2,983 crore of debt were resolved for Rs 26 crore and which the court said were facilitated by eight non-banking finance companies under 'Project Help'.
Supreme Court of India orders CBI and ED to probe ADAG insolvency settlements
Why it matters
The court's direction requires cross-agency coordination, meaning investigations into the contested settlements must be pursued jointly rather than as isolated probes by a single agency. Parties involved in the settled insolvency transactions will face coordinated criminal-financial scrutiny that centralises evidence collection and case-building across investigators.
Implications
  • Central Bureau of Investigation must open and coordinate a joint probe with the Enforcement Directorate into the identified insolvency settlements to comply with the judicial directive.
  • Enforcement Directorate must share financial intelligence and coordinate case-building with the Central Bureau of Investigation on the ADAG insolvency settlements to comply with the judicial directive.
