As per media reports, US prosecutors have widened their probe of the conglomerate to focus on whether it engaged in bribery.

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea of Adani Power Rajasthan Ltd seeking over Rs 1,300 crore as late payment surcharge from the Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited.

Imposing Rs 50,000 as cost on Adani Power Rajasthan Ltd (APRL), a bench comprising Justices Aniruddha Bose and PV Sanjay Kumar ruled that filing of a miscellaneous application was not the proper legal recourse to late payment surcharge (LPS) by the Adani firm.

"Relief of this nature (claiming LPS) cannot be asked in a miscellaneous application which was described in the course of the hearing as an application for clarification," the bench said.

Meanwhile, in the equity market the 30-share BSE Sensex ended 104.99 points or 0.14 per cent higher at 72,748.42, and the NSE Nifty climbed 32.35 points or 0.15 per cent to 22,055.70.
