Delhi HC denies bail to DHFL promoter Kapil Wadhawan in bank fraud case
New Delhi: The Delhi high court denied bail on Monday to DHFL promoter Kapil Wadhawan in an alleged Rs 34,926-crore bank fraud case, noting that his "conduct during custody was not beyond reproach". Justice Ravinder Dudeja rejected his bail plea, saying such economic offences were not only crimes against specific victims but against the financial system at large. The CBI alleged Wadhawan, as promoter and CMD of DHFL, was the principal architect of a massive financial fraud involving diversion and misappropriation of approximately Rs 34,926 crore from a consortium of 17 banks. "The allegations regarding manipulation of valuable assets and transactions carried out during judicial custody are grave and suggest that the applicant continues to exercise significant control and influence," the HC observed. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai It noted CBI's submission that Wadhawan was facing multiple investigations and cases across jurisdictions involving serious financial offences, which undermined his argument that he posed no risk if enlarged on bail. "The court cannot permit the release of a person who is prima facie the mastermind of a deep-rooted financial fraud, especially when the trial is at a nascent stage," it concluded, noting that if released on bail he might tamper with evidence or, worse, flee from justice. "Many of the witnesses in this case are stated to be either ex-employees or associates of DHFL and, as such, there is a high risk and possibility that the petitioner might try to influence witnesses," it said. Wadhawan is accused of creating and operating 87 shell companies in the names of associates, employees, and relatives to siphon off funds, falsely recorded as retail housing loans to over 2.6 lakh fictitious customers through a non-existent "Bandra Branch-001" in DHFL's internal systems. He was taken into custody in the case on July 19, 2022, and granted default statutory bail on Dec 3, 2022, but the Supreme Court cancelled his bail on Jan 24, 2024. The court observed his "effective custody" was two years, and not four years as claimed. "Having regard to the nature and seriousness of the allegations, the gravity of the offence, the applicant's central role in the conspiracy, the potential adverse impact of his release on the trial, and the huge magnitude of the funds siphoned off, this court finds no merit in the present application," the order held.

Justice Ravinder Dudeja rejected the plea, calling the alleged offence a crime not just against specific victims but against the financial system itself. CBI has accused Wadhawan, as DHFL promoter and CMD, of being the mastermind of a massive fraud involving misappropriation and diversion of Rs 34,926 crore from a consortium of 17 banks. HC noted that Wadhawan allegedly manipulated valuable assets and transactions even during judicial custody, indicating continued control and influence. CBI also submitted that Wadhawan is facing multiple cases in different jurisdictions, which weakens his claim that he poses no risk if granted bail. "The court cannot permit the release of a person who is prima facie the mastermind of a deep-rooted financial fraud, especially when the trial is at a nascent stage," HC said, adding there was a strong possibility of him tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses - many of whom are former DHFL employees or associates. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Wadhawan is accused of operating 87 shell companies in the names of relatives and employees to siphon off funds, falsely recorded as housing loans to over 2.6 lakh fictitious customers via a non-existent "Bandra Bra-nch-001" in DHFL's systems.
