Bombay HC Judges Recuse in HDFC Bank CEO Plea
Judges in Mumbai are stepping away from a case involving the CEO of HDFC Bank.
The CEO is accused of taking a bribe.
The accusations come from the Lilavati Hospital, which says the CEO took money to help someone keep control of the hospital.
One judge recused because they owned HDFC shares.
Another judge stepped aside after objections from the Trust's counsel.
Now, the court needs to find a new set of judges to hear the case.
Multiple Bombay High Court benches have recused from hearing HDFC Bank CEO's plea.
The plea challenges an FIR filed by the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust.
The FIR accuses the CEO of accepting a Rs 2.05 crore bribe.
Judges have recused due to conflicts of interest, including share ownership and prior association with parties.
The case will be assigned to a new bench after multiple recusals.
