A public interest lawsuits (PIL) has actually been submitted in the Supreme Court looking for a court-monitored examination into the supposed massive bank scams including Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications Ltd and its subsidiary groups.
After thinking about the premises raised in the plea, a bench led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai on Tuesday provided notifications to the main federal government, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), seeking their reactions to the plea.
The plea submitted by previous Union secretary EAS Sarma mentions that the supposed scams dedicated by Anil Ambani’s RCOM needs an independent and transparent examination, in addition to the probes being performed by the main firms, ED and CBI. Kept in mind supporter Prashant Bhushan stood for the petitioner.
“The petitioner herein is filing the present Writ petition in the nature of a public interest litigation under article 32 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ/order/direction for a court-monitored investigation into the large-scale bank fraud perpetrated by M/S Reliance Communications Ltd. & others, and for ensuring that the investigation is not limited to the narrow scope of FIR no. RCBD1/2025/E/0005 & connected investigations by the enforcement directorate, but includes all grave offences revealed in various reports/documents available in the public domain,” the PIL states.
The petition even more declared that examining firms have actually neglected a five-year hold-up by the loaning bank in submitting its FIR, a lapse that, according to the plea, indicate possible participation or carelessness of bank authorities.
Regardless of a 2020 forensic audit report detailing the diversion of funds, evergreening of loans, fictitious deals, and making use of shell business, the bank took no statutory action till August 2025, the plea competes.
The plea even more argues that this inexplicable hold-up recommends prospective collusion or intentional inactiveness by public servants, which must have been dealt with as an essential element of the criminal conspiracy.
“CBI and ED, however, have entirely failed to investigate this institutional angle, thereby excluding from scrutiny the very public officials whose complicity or willful inaction forms an essential part of the criminal conspiracy,” the plea includes.
Therefore, the plea argues that it is required, profitable, and in the general public interest that the Supreme Court problem instructions for a court-monitored probe into the matter.
