Mumbai, Oct 17 () The Bombay High Court on Thursday quashed all Letters Rogatory (LRs) sent by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) to Singapore and other countries in its probe of Adani group firms for alleged overvaluation of Indonesian coal imports.
The court said it did not go into merits of LRs issued by a metropolitan magistrate but found that due procedure had not been followed while issuing them.
Letters Rogatory are sent to investigative or judicial agencies in other countries when some information is required during a probe of off-shore entities.
A division bench of justices Ranjit More and Bharati H Dangre allowed the writ petition filed by Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), challenging the DRI’s action of getting LRs issued.
