By the way, till now no official statement has come out from SEBI in this matter. The Supreme Court had set a deadline of August 14 for SEBI to complete its investigation and submit the report. The hearing of the case is to be held on August 29. The Hindenburg Report of January 24 made allegations related to Related Party Transactions and MPS Norms. After which there was a continuous decline in the shares of Adani Group and mortve than 10 lakh crores were wiped out from the market cap of Adani Group. The regulator had earlier identified 13 specific deals which it was looking into whether they were legally covered or not.
Deloitte resigns
The report is being submitted to the Supreme Court at a time when, on Saturday, global audit firm Deloitte Haskins & Sells terminated its six-year-old relationship with Adani Ports & SEZ. Deloitte said Adani Ports refused to conduct an independent external examination to address the auditor's concerns, and therefore issued a qualified opinion on the company's FY23 results. Qualified opinion means an audit report which is not clean.
