SC refuses to quash Delhi HC order against former NSE CEO Chitra Ramkrishna on corruption charges | Company Business News
The Supreme Court has refused to stop the corruption case against former NSE (National Stock Exchange) chief Chitra Ramkrishna. She had argued she was not a public servant, so the Prevention of Corruption Act should not apply. The court said she can raise that point during trial. This means such cases will go to full trial, so keep your records and legal paperwork in order.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Supreme Court dismissed Chitra Ramkrishna's plea challenging her prosecution under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
- The court said the Delhi High Court committed no error in passing its judgment against her.
- Her argument that she was not a public servant can be raised before the trial court, which will decide it on merits.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run a business that performs any public-facing or investor-facing duty, check with a lawyer how definitions like 'public duty' and 'public servant' could apply to your role, and do not assume such matters will be thrown out early in court.
