AI summary

CDSL disclosed that the Bombay High Court on December 23, 2025 allowed a petition by Mr. Nimish Shah and others, setting aside the April 29, 2024 arbitration award that had earlier rejected claims against CDSL. The dispute relates to alleged misutilization of clients' securities by Anugrah Stock and Broking. The ruling reverses CDSL's earlier favorable position and allows the claimants' case to proceed. Cumulative claims across similar matters cross the materiality threshold, triggering this disclosure.

Likely market impact

Negative for CDSL; favorable ruling reversed, exposure to claims increases, uncertainty around potential financial liability.
