Supreme Court Permits Forensic Audit in Fortis Healthcare Share Transfer Dispute
The Supreme Court of India has allowed a forensic audit of Fortis Healthcare to proceed, clarifying that previous observations by the Delhi High Court were tentative and solely to justify the audit. Fortis Healthcare maintains it was not involved in the share transfer dispute between its former promoters, Malvinder and Shivinder Mohan Singh, and Daiichi Sankyo, emphasizing no penalties or liabilities have been imposed on the company. The audit will independently investigate alleged asset dissipation related to the change in Fortis's control.
