America's Rosen Law Firm is set to
sue India's private sector giant HDFC Bank. The US company may file a lawsuit
against the private bank for allegedly misleading investors. Rosen Law Firm
said on Monday that it plans to investigate potential claims related to
securities against HDFC Bank. In this context, HDFC Bank says that it is not
aware of the case and prima facie it seems to be a mild matter as the bank
believes that it is transparent in making the information public. After this
news, the value of HDFC Bank's American Depository Receipt (ADR) share lost
2.83 per cent. The bank's ADRs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
On a global level, the legal company
has issued a statement on its website saying, "Rosen Law Firm is set to
file securities-related litigation on behalf of HDFC shareholders". Rosen
Law Firm wrote quoting media reports related to the allegedly unfair practice
of the business, that the bank's profit in the first quarter has not been in
line with analyst estimates. The legal company said it would investigate
potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of HDFC Bank Limited.
Last year, Rosen Law filed a similar
lawsuit against giant IT company Infosys. The lawsuit was filed by the legal
company after a whistleblower accused some of the top people associated with
Infosys management of irregularities, which was dismissed in May this year. The
legal company has written, "If you have purchased HDFC Bank securities,
then please visit the company's website to join the securities action."
The country's largest private bank has
reported a 22 per cent increase in integrated income to Rs 6,927 crore in the
first quarter of the current financial year.
