SEC updates US court on efforts to serve legal documents in Adani case
The defendants, who are based in India, are yet to be officially served. In a June 27 letter submitted to Magistrate Judge James R Cho of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), the SEC said it is continuing to pursue formal service of the summons and complaint under the provisions of the Hague Service Convention. New York, Jun 27 (PTI) The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a status update with a federal court in New York, detailing its ongoing efforts to serve legal documents to billionaire Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar in connection with a civil securities case filed last year. US SEC has to serve the summons to Adani Group founder and chairman Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar in the alleged USD 265 million payoffs to win lucrative renewable power supply contracts, through proper diplomatic channels as it has no jurisdiction to summon a foreign national directly. The SEC originally filed the complaint on November 20, 2024, alleging that two violated US securities laws by making false and misleading statements related to a September 2021 bond offering by Adani Green Energy Ltd. According to the SEC, Rule 4 (f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governs service in foreign jurisdictions and permits the use of international treaties, such as the Hague Convention. The rule does not impose a specific time limit for service, provided reasonable efforts are being made. PTI ANZ BAL BAL This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Indian pacer Yash Dayal has reportedly been named in a complaint filed by a woman from Ghaziabad, accusing the 27-year-old cricketer of mental, emotional, and physical exploitation under the pretext of marriage. According to a report from India Today, the woman submitted her grievance through the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's online portal, IGRS, prompting the CM's office to seek a formal report from the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram. The Ghaziabad police have reportedly been given a deadline of July 21 to act on the matter; Hindustan Times couldn't independently verify the report. Ahmedabad: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Yash Dayal bowls a delivery during the Indian Premier League(PTI) The woman had initially lodged her complaint on June 14, but claimed that no significant action was taken at the police station level. With no progress in her case, she turned to the Chief Minister's office in search of justice. In her FIR, the woman alleged that she had been in a relationship with Dayal for five years. 'For the past 5 years, the complainant had been in a relationship with a cricketer. The man emotionally, mentally, and physically exploited her by misleading her with the promise of marriage. He introduced the complainant to his family and behaved like a husband, which made her trust him completely,' the FIR reads. The complaint further alleges that after the woman confronted Dayal about his intentions, she was subjected to abuse. 'When the complainant realized the deception and protested, she was subjected to physical violence and mental harassment. During the relationship, the complainant was also exploited financially and emotionally.' Chat records, screenshots to back accusations The woman also claimed that Dayal had accepted money from her and alleged he had behaved similarly with several other women. 'Later, it was found that the man was involved in similar false relationships with other girls too,' the statement adds. According to her, she possesses 'chat records, screenshots, video calls, and photos as evidence' to back her allegations. The FIR ends with a plea for an immediate and fair investigation. 'It has been requested that a swift investigation be conducted into the matter and that legal action be taken against the concerned individual. This step is not only important for her but also for all those girls who fall victim to such deceitful relationships.' Dayal, who played 15 matches for RCB in IPL 2025 and took 13 wickets, has yet to respond publicly to the allegations.
