Supreme Court stays arrest of Nimesh Kampani

The Supreme Court today stayed the arrest of J M Financial founder and investment banker Nimesh Kampani in the Nagarjuna Finance scam case.

J M Financial yesterday said Kampani would move the Supreme Court soon on the Nagarjuna Finance scam case.

"He (Kampani) would move the Supreme Court in the Nagarjuna Finance case," a company spokesperson said today.

Kampani, against whom the Andhra Pradesh police had issued a search circular, was a non-executive director in Nagarjuna Group's non-banking financial company Nagarjuna Finance.

Nagarjuna Finance had collected deposits from the public but failed to meet its commitments to depositors following adverse market reaction towards the company after a setback to its hire purchase business.

 

The Andhra Pradesh Police had arrested company Chairman K S Raju in December 2008.
