The Karnataka High Court has turned down Genpact's petition contesting the Enforcement Directorate's seizure of its Gurugram office, upholding the agency's action.
The Karnataka High Court dismissed Genpact's plea seeking relief from the Enforcement Directorate's seizure of the company's office in Gurugram. The court's order leaves the seizure in place and rejects the company's arguments against it.
The Enforcement Directorate had earlier taken possession of the Gurugram premises as part of a probe into alleged financial irregularities involving the multinational services firm. The agency's action was aimed at preserving assets that could be relevant to the investigation.
Genpact had approached the court claiming that the seizure was unlawful and that it hampered its business operations. The bench, however, found no merit in the submission and affirmed the legality of the ED's move.
Legal experts note that the decision underscores the robustness of India's financial‑crime enforcement framework and signals that corporate entities will continue to face strict scrutiny when implicated in such probes.
