London: The US Department of Justice (DoJ) strongly defended its decision to drop the high-profile charges of the alleged criminal bribery case against Gautam Adani, citing evidentiary weakness, jurisdictional overreach, and constitutional limits on judicial power.
The alleged case against Adand others was filed merely as a "name and shame" exercise designed to levy accusations without any prospect of a trial occurring, said Senior Advocate Harish Salve.
