Latest News about Nusli Wadia
The Bangur Nagar police registered an FIR against Nusli Wadia, his wife Maureen Wadia, and his sons Ness and Jehangir Wadia, along with four others, for allegedly using forged documents in court proceedings against Ferani Hotels Pvt Ltd. The case involves a 30-year-old development agreement for a land plot in Malad, where the dispute centered on the builder's obligation to pay Wadia 12% of gross sale proceeds.
The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) overturned the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi) order that had barred Nusli Wadia and his sons from the securities market for two years due to alleged financial misrepresentation by Bombay Dyeing. The tribunal quashed the ban on holding director positions, directed Sebi to refund all penalties paid by the Wadia family within four weeks, and set aside the two-year market ban.
