Supreme Court Junks HDFC Bank CEO’s Plea Challenging FIR By Lilavati Trust

HDFC Bank CEO and MD Sashidhar Jagdishan on Thursday moved the Supreme Court challenging an FIR of cheating and fraud registered against him on a complaint filed by the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust, which runs the prominent Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai.

Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Jagdishan, mentioned the matter for urgent listing before a bench of Justices M M Sundresh and K Vinod Chandran.

The bench said the matter would be listed for hearing on Friday.

“This is an urgent matter. I request for listing tomorrow on behalf of the HDFC bank and its MD. A frivolous FIR has been lodged against the MD and the bank by trustees of Lilavati hospital who are litigating against the other group of trustees," Rohatgi told the bench.
