In a significant legal development, the Bombay High Court has quashed the CBI FIR against GTL Infrastructure Ltd, which alleged fraudulent bank loans worth over ₹4,063 crore. The FIR, registered in August 2023, accused the company of diverting funds obtained from a consortium of banks.
A division bench led by Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam A. Ankhad observed that the FIR lacked specific identification of accused individuals, including bank officials and directors, and therefore could not justify continuation of the investigation. The court allowed GTL Infrastructure’s writ petition, ruling that no offense was established.
The judgment, delivered on February 27, 2026, and uploaded on February 28, 2026, has been formally disclosed to the BSE and NSE under SEBI listing obligations.
