The Supreme Court of India clarified today that it has not expressed any opinion against Sammaan Capital Limited (SCL) regarding a long-pending PIL alleging irregularities in lending by the company's erstwhile promoter. The company, now promoter-less and professionally managed, welcomes the Court's direction for a focused investigation on the former promoter, moving towards final resolution after six years.

The ongoing legal saga involving Sammaan Capital Limited (SCL) reached a significant milestone in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India today. Originally stemming from a 2019 Public Interest Litigation (PIL) by the Citizen Whistle Blower Forum alleging irregular lending practices under ex-promoter Mr. Sameer Gehlaut, the matter had faced extensive scrutiny by multiple regulatory authorities including RBI, NHB, SEBI, and MCA—who found no wrongdoing by SCL.

Key Highlights:

The Supreme Court underscored that no adverse remarks have been made against SCL, explicitly stating, “we have not expressed any opinion against Sammaan Capital Limited.”
All loans at issue have been repaid; three were cleared back in 2019, the remaining two now show no outstanding balance.
The company has completely transitioned out of Mr. Gehlaut’s control; he exited shareholding in 2023, with SCL now a diversified, board-managed entity holding over 400,000 shareholders.
The Court directed a joint affidavit by senior officials addressing allegations against the former promoter, who is reportedly residing abroad and accused of amassing various luxury assets.
No FIR or investigation has been ordered against SCL; the Court's focus remains strictly on the erstwhile promoter and associated quid pro quo allegations.
SCL reaffirmed its cooperation and commitment to regulatory compliance amid ongoing proceedings aimed at closure of the issue.
Concurrently, SCL and India Home Credit (IHC) continue pursuing shareholder approvals for IHC’s acquisition, which will establish it as SCL’s new promoter.

This development signals clarity and potential closure after a six-year legal pursuit that had caused notable market disturbances. Market participants and stakeholders now await the court's next steps, hopeful of resolution enhancing corporate governance transparency for SCL.
