Supreme Court to Hear Rs 500 Crore UAE Money Decree Case in July After Mediation Fails

The Supreme Court will hear in July a plea concerning the enforcement of a Rs 500 crore money decree issued by a UAE court in favor of Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority (RAKIA) against industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad. Mediation led by former Chief Justice U U Lalit failed. The case relates to the failed 2008 Vanpic Project joint venture. RAKIA alleges misappropriation of USD 120 million, while Prasad has deposited Rs 125 crore as security and submitted land deeds in court.
