Delhi High Court Dismisses Chitra Ramkrishna's Plea, Affirms NSE's Public Duty Status
The Delhi High Court dismissed former NSE chief Chitra Ramkrishna's petition challenging the definitions of "public duty" and "public servant" under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court ruled that the National Stock Exchange performs public duties, and Ramkrishna, as its managing director, also discharged such duties inseparable from the exchange's functions. The court upheld the sanction for her prosecution but clarified its observations would not affect trial court proceedings.
