Mumbai’s top court imposes ₹50,000 penalty on petition against Adani Power’s contract award

The court has dismissed allegations made by a petitioner that the award of a government contract was a scam involving government authorities. The court found that the petitioner made “reckless statements” without providing any supporting evidence to back up their claims. The allegations included accusations against the former chief minister of Maharashtra, who was accused of being corrupt and colluding with the respondent (Adani) to award the contract. The court noted that the petitioner made these allegations without any supporting material, including against the former chief minister. The court’s decision suggests that the allegations were unfounded and lacking in evidence.
