The RBI's Master Directions aim to identify frauds and unscrupulous borrowers for timely action, and every violation of the same is not subject to judicial scrutiny, the Bombay High Court has said while lifting the stay on action by three banks to classify industrialist Anil Ambani's accounts as fraud. A bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad on Monday quashed a single bench order of December 2025, which stayed the action initiated by three public sector banks based on the Master Directions issued by the RBI to classify Ambani's and Reliance Communications Ltd's bank accounts as fraud. The court allowed appeals filed by the three public sector banks and the auditor firm BDO India LLP against the December 2025 interim order passed by a single bench of the HC. The division bench held the single bench order as "perverse and illegal" and in breach of natural justice and said it suffers from "procedural irregularity and impropriety". The court in its ...

The Bombay High Court while upholding an order of the State Bank of India (SBI) classifying the accounts of industrialist Anil Ambani and Reliance Communications as fraud has said it was a reasoned order, and did not have any legal flaw. A bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale on October 3 dismissed a petition filed by Ambani, challenging the SBI order. The judgment, a copy of which was made available on Tuesday, said there was no merit in Ambani's plea as there was no "infirmity" in the SBI order of June 13, 2025. The court did not entertain the industrialist's contention that the order should be held as null and void because he was not given a personal hearing, and relevant documents were not furnished to him. The right available under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Master Directions, under which the SBI passed its order, is that of making a representation and not of personal hearing, the high court noted. Ambani had submitted his response to the show-cause .
