Indian Court Issues August 20 Order in Gautam Buddh Nagar Proceedings

Basu and Associates provides procedural update and directs interested parties to official Indian court records

Prayagraj, India, September 14, 2026 -- Basu and Associates has provided an update regarding ongoing proceedings before the District Court of Gautam Buddh Nagar following an order issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate on August 20, 2026.

According to court-related information supplied by the firm, the matter is recorded as Case No. 350/2026 under Section 173(4) of the BNSS. The August 20 order directed further proceedings in the matter and provided for continued court monitoring, with relevant legal agencies required to report developments directly to the court.

Saurabh Basu, an advocate of the Allahabad High Court is prosecuting the criminal charges against 8 US Citizens for Fraud, Money Laundering and Theft of Indian IP. The Court has charged Robert Clifford, Emily Wang Fairbairn, Greg Wunderle, Rahul Gandhi, Soumik Sarkar, David Friedman, Steve Schleicher and Matthew Ebert for criminal charges under section 173(4) of the BNSS. The Court has instructed Indian law enforcement to initiate all efforts to produce them before the Courts in India to stand trial. 

Basu and Associates stated that the August 20 order represents the latest procedural development currently being communicated by the firm. The practice encourages members of the media, legal professionals, interested parties, and members of the public to consult official court documentation when reviewing information related to the proceedings.

Court records and case information are available through India’s official eCourts system and the Gautam Buddh Nagar District Court website. The firm said these sources provide the appropriate reference point for information concerning court orders, case status, and other publicly available developments connected with the proceedings.

The matter remains before the Indian legal system, and no final judicial determination has been announced in the information provided by Basu and Associates. The existence of a complaint, filing, court order, investigation, or continuing proceeding should not be interpreted as a final determination regarding any individual or organization associated with the matter.

The firm emphasized that future communications concerning the case will focus on procedural developments and information that can be referenced through official court documentation.

“Court records provide the appropriate source for understanding the procedural status of a matter before the judiciary,” said Saurabh Basu. “Our intention is to provide factual updates when relevant developments occur and to direct interested parties to the official documentation available through the court system.”

According to Basu and Associates, maintaining a clear distinction between procedural developments and final judicial findings is important when communicating information about an ongoing matter. Court proceedings can involve multiple stages, filings, responses, and orders before a matter reaches a final conclusion.

The firm said it will continue to monitor developments associated with Case No. 350/2026 and provide updates when there are material procedural changes that can be supported by official court records.

Interested parties seeking additional information are encouraged to consult the official eCourts portal at ecourts.gov.in and the Gautam Buddh Nagar District Court website at gbnagar.dcourts.gov.in. These resources provide access to publicly available information concerning matters before Indian courts.

Basu and Associates will also respond to appropriate media inquiries regarding information it is authorized to provide while continuing to reference official court documentation as the primary source for procedural updates.
