Board Communication / Regulatory Filing
Bank of Baroda has received media inquiries regarding certain interim applications filed by Dr. BR Shetty against the Bank in his suit before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court.
The Bank clarifies that it has not been served with such a suit, as previously stated in its stock exchange filing on 14 October 2026. The Bank has also not been served with the interim applications that were the subject of the press inquiries.
The Bank maintains it cannot comment on the contents of pleadings or interim applications that it has not been served with and that have not been heard before the court. The Bank considers it improper to respond to untested allegations in relation to court proceedings in public media.
According to the Hon'ble Bombay High Court website, both the suit and the interim applications filed by Dr. BR Shetty are either yet to be scrutinized or registered by the court. The allegations therefore remain untested until a court considers them in accordance with law.
The Bank notes that contents of the suit and interim applications appear to have been selectively disseminated to news media on the eve of the announcement of the Bank's quarterly results, suggesting an improper intention. The Bank will take appropriate steps in relation to such dissemination.
