Co-location scam case: Supreme Court refuses to entertain Chitra Ramkrishna's plea challenging HC order

The Supreme Court on Tuesday (September 15, 2026) refused to entertain former NSE managing director Chitra Ramkrishna's plea challenging an order taking cognisance of offences under the anti-corruption law in the co-location scam case against her.

Ms. Ramkrishna had challenged the Delhi High Court's July 9 verdict, which dismissed her plea against a trial court order taking cognisance of the offences under the anti-corruption law in the case against her.

Her plea came up for hearing before a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran.

Senior advocate Balbir Singh, appearing for Ms. Ramkrishna, argued that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is a private company and it can't be said that the petitioner was discharging a public duty.

While disposing of her plea, the Bench said this point could be raised before the trial court, which would consider the same on its own merits.
