Supreme Court Allows Forensic Audit in Daiichi-Fortis Dispute Over 2016 Arbitral Award
The Supreme Court has upheld Delhi High Court orders allowing a forensic audit of Fortis Healthcare's transactions linked to a 2016 arbitral award won by Daiichi Sankyo against former Fortis promoters Malvinder and Shivinder Singh. The audit aims to trace assets and examine the dilution of the Singh brothers' shareholding, including dealings with Malaysia's IHH Healthcare. The Supreme Court clarified that the High Court's observations are tentative and will not influence the independent forensic audit, which proceeds amid ongoing enforcement efforts.
