Supreme Court Seeks Replies in PIL for Court‑Monitored Probe Into Alleged RComADAG Bank Fraud

The plea alleges narrow probes that overlook institutional roles, prompting a request for court supervision.

Overview

  • A bench of Chief Justice B. R. Gavai and Justice K. Vinod Chandran issued notices to the Union government, CBI, ED, Anil Ambani and the ADAG group.
  • The court directed all respondents to file replies within three weeks and listed the matter for further hearing after the responses are received.
  • The petition cites SBI‑led loans of ₹31,580 crore to RCom and affiliates between 2013 and 2017 and points to a 2020 forensic audit indicating large‑scale diversion of funds.
  • The petitioner flags SBI’s nearly five‑year delay before lodging a complaint in August 2025 and says the CBI FIR alleges a ₹2,929 crore loss that captures only a fraction of the alleged misconduct.
  • The plea seeks a Supreme Court‑monitored SIT of CBI and ED officers and an expert committee, noting more than 35 searches but no arrests or significant asset freezes to date.
