Supreme Court Allows Forensic Audit in Daiichi-Singh Dispute; Fortis Denies Involvement
Fortis Healthcare has stated it was uninvolved in the legal dispute between Daiichi Sankyo and the Singh Brothers, describing itself as a "complete stranger" to the matter. The Supreme Court allowed a forensic audit to proceed, clarifying that prior Delhi High Court observations were tentative and would not influence the independent audit. Fortis emphasized it was never party to arbitration or liable in the case and highlighted governance changes after the Singh Brothers' exit in 2018, including new investors joining the company.
