Judge Declines to Dismiss Immediately, Sets Deadline
Judge Garaufis issues a written order refusing to immediately dismiss the case, calling the DOJ's reasoning 'terse, bland, and conclusory.' He orders prosecutors to submit a detailed justification by July 13, 2026.
Adani Lawyers Request Formal Dismissal
Adani's legal team files a motion asking Judge Garaufis to formally dismiss the indictment, arguing the matter is outside U.S. jurisdiction and the evidence is insufficient.
DOJ Drops Charges
The U.S. Department of Justice informs the court it will no longer pursue the prosecution, stating it cannot sustain the allegations. Multiple other federal investigations into Adani Group are also closed.
Indictment Filed
Grand jury indicts Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani, and others on securities and wire fraud charges related to an alleged bribery scheme involving Indian officials and misleading U.S. investors.
Judge Garaufis's order for a DOJ explanation is a routine procedural step under Rule 48. Defense expert Chris Man confirms that no federal judge has ever refused to approve a prosecutor's motion to dismiss, underscoring near-absolute executive discretion in charging and uncharging decisions.
The DOJ's motion to drop the Adani indictment is virtually certain to be approved after July 13, 2026. The procedural order from Judge Garaufis is routine, and legal experts see no scenario where the court blocks dismissal, removing the last major regulatory cloud over the Indian conglomerate.

A federal judge has refused to rubber-stamp the DOJ's dismissal of the Adani indictment, requiring detailed justification by July 13. The ruling tests the limits of prosecutorial discretion versus judicial oversight in high-profile cross-border white-collar cases.
A U.S. judge's refusal to immediately dismiss fraud charges against Gautam Adani keeps legal risks alive for the conglomerate. Investors watch the July 13 DOJ justification deadline as Adani Group stocks face potential volatility from ongoing uncertainty.
