Delhi High Court Orders Fortis Healthcare Audit, Raising Corporate Liability Questions
The Delhi High Court ordered a forensic audit of Fortis Healthcare related to a Singapore arbitration award against its former promoters, the Singh brothers, in their personal capacity. The court clarified the audit is fact-finding and does not impose liability on Fortis. Proxy advisory firm InGovern warned this order could set a precedent exposing listed companies to enforcement actions over promoters' personal debts, challenging the traditional separation between companies and their owners. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on April 1, 2027.
