Bombay High Court Dismisses Plea for CBI Probe into Adani Green Energy Bribery Allegations

The Bombay High Court has dismissed a petition seeking a CBI investigation into allegations that Adani Green Energy Ltd paid over ₹2,000 crore in bribes to secure solar power contracts.

A Division Bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Suman Shyam rejected the plea, which relied on a US Department of Justice indictment and SEC proceedings pending in a New York federal court.

The petitioner, Jitendra Maru, alleged an organized scheme to bribe officials in multiple Indian states to secure power purchase agreements at inflated tariffs.

The Court's detailed order explaining the grounds for dismissal is currently awaited.
