US DOJ backed dismissal of criminal charges against Gautam and Sagar Adani, arguing no investor losses occurred and the case had jurisdictional and evidentiary flaws. Parent-level legal relief affects Adani's retail and airport-retail arms.

Why this matters

Extends the DOJ's reversal on Adani, after moving to dismiss the indictment as 'catastrophically flawed' and urging a permanent drop of bribery and fraud charges. Reduces legal risk across retail and airport-retail units.
