'Charges against Adani in bribery case can be withdrawn if deemed unworthy after Trump takes over as President'

Deccan Chronicle  

New York: There remains a possibility that the USD 265 million bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani can be withdrawn if the charges against him are deemed unworthy or defective after Donald Trump takes over as the US President, a prominent Indian-American attorney has said. “If the criminal or civil charges are deemed unworthy or defective, President Trump's new Justice Department and SEC can withdraw the criminal and civil cases, Batra said adding that the Law is a many splendored thing, as it can, and does, self-correct to retain public confidence in the noble judiciary and the rule of law.” “This principle also has application in the comity of nations, given the all-important prosecutorial discretion. On Monday, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams, who has served as the chief federal law enforcement officer in the district, announced his intention to resign from his position on December 13, over a month before Trump assumes charge. Trump has nominated Jay Clayton, who was the SEC Chairman during his first tenure in the White House, to serve as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Manhattan's top federal prosecutor.
