The Bombay High Court has dismissed a bribery case filed by the Lilavati Trust against HDFC Bank MD Sashidhar Jagdishan. The court said the complaint appeared to be a reaction to the bank’s efforts to recover more than Rs 65 crore and noted strained ties among hospital trustees. It held there was no justification for the bribery allegations.

With the cash used as evidence reportedly damaged, the court said it will examine evidence preservation concerns further.
