The Karnataka High Court has dismissed a petition filed by Genpact India, formally upholding the Enforcement Directorate’s seizure of the company’s office premises located in Gurugram. This judicial decision allows the Enforcement Directorate to maintain its hold on the property while ongoing legal and financial investigations continue. The core of this legal dispute focused directly on the investigative agency’s legal authority to seize specific assets linked to alleged financial irregularities.

The contested property attachment was executed specifically as a part of this broader money laundering inquiry being conducted by federal authorities.
