Pune, Jan 29 (UNI) A single bench of Justice Manish Pitale of Bombay High Court issued notice to FTI Consulting India Private Limited in a Commercial IP Suit of Credit Suisse Services (India) Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Nisheet Singh as the court observed specific allegations levelled by the defendant Mr. Singh through his lawyer Adv. Aashutosh Srivastava against FTI claiming it to be not a neutral party while conducting the investigation of data breach by the order of HC and the same needs to be responded by the FTI.
Adv. Srivastava representing Mr. Singh argued that the report of FTI cannot be relied upon as many of the topmost members of FTI have links with Credit Suisse or vice versa as data available online and there are other evidences too to infer the links when the Court was hearing the Interlocutory Application filed by Mr. Singh, an ex-employee of Credit Suisse in the Commercial IP Suit filed by Credit Suisse.
Adv Srivastava said the main Suit was registered in 2021, alleging the defendant to be involved in data breach of the company and FTI was appointed by the Court to do the investigation and prepare report from the data collected from the computers and electronic gadgets of Singh.
