Overview
- A filing in Brooklyn federal court says US-based lawyers led by Robert Giuffra Jr agreed to accept service on behalf of Gautam and Sagar Adani.
- The stipulation requires Judge Nicholas Garaufis’s approval, which would trigger a 90-day deadline for the defendants’ response followed by 60- and 45-day briefing periods.
- The agreement follows a year of stalled service after India’s Law Ministry twice refused Hague Convention requests and the SEC sought alternative service.
- The defendants reserve all defenses, including challenges to personal jurisdiction in the Eastern District of New York.
- The SEC alleges the executives misled investors in connection with Adani Green and references an alleged bribery scheme as prosecutors pursue a separate criminal case, while the company says it is not a party and faces no charges.
