Supreme Court Allows Forensic Audit in Daiichi-Fortis Arbitration Enforcement Dispute
The Supreme Court upheld Delhi High Court orders permitting a forensic audit of Fortis Healthcare's transactions linked to Daiichi Sankyo's efforts to enforce a 2016 arbitral award against former Fortis promoters Malvinder and Shivinder Singh. The Court did not assess the merits but emphasized the audit's independence from the High Court's tentative observations. The dispute arises from Daiichi's arbitration over the Singh brothers' sale of their Ranbaxy stake, with enforcement proceedings extending to Fortis-related transactions.
