Fortis Healthcare and Yes Bank Challenge Delhi HC Forensic Audit Order in Supreme Court
Fortis Healthcare and Yes Bank have approached the Supreme Court challenging a Delhi High Court order directing a forensic audit into transactions involving Fortis, its former promoters, and Malaysia's IHH Healthcare. The audit relates to enforcement proceedings following a 2016 arbitral award favoring Japanese firm Daiichi Sankyo, alleging asset erosion. While Yes Bank contests being a party to the original arbitration, it does not oppose the audit of Fortis and its promoters. Axis Bank is also expected to challenge the ruling.
