Adani was charged in 2024 over allegations that he agreed to bribe Indian officials to secure approval for a solar power project and misled US investors. Adani Group has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

A U.S. ‌judge on Friday ordered the ​Justice Department ⁠to justify its decision to drop criminal charges against ‌Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, declining to rule ‌immediately on ‌Adani's ⁠lawyers' request earlier ⁠in the week to formally dismiss the case.

Adani was charged ​in ‌2024 with agreeing to bribe Indian government officials so a subsidiary of ‌his Adani Group ​could win approval to develop a solar ⁠plant, and then misleading U.S. investors by ‌providing reassuring information about his company's anti-corruption practices.

Adani Group has consistently denied wrongdoing. The Justice Department said last ‌month it would no ​longer pursue the prosecution. Adani's lawyers on ⁠Wednesday asked Brooklyn-based U.S. District ⁠Judge Nicholas Garaufis to formally dismiss ‌the case.
