The Victims Rights Protection Trust (VRPT) considers it its duty to keep every genuine victim informed about the present legal status of the Dhanwantari Foundation International (DFI) case and the efforts presently being undertaken on behalf of all investors.

Many investors have repeatedly enquired whether the legal proceedings are moving forward and whether our representations before various authorities have yielded any results. We are therefore issuing this Official Information Circular to place the actual legal position before every investor in a transparent manner.

⚖️ The Scale of the Legal Battle

The legal battle being fought in this matter is neither simple nor ordinary. It involves one of the largest financial frauds affecting thousands of innocent investors. The case involves numerous companies floated by the accused, multiple directors, several immovable properties spread across different districts, bank accounts, electronic records, and large volumes of documentary evidence collected during investigation. Bringing all these aspects before the Court requires continuous legal work, documentary verification and systematic coordination with the investigating authorities.

🏛️ Attachment Orders Confirmed

After examining the material collected during investigation, the Government of Telangana exercised its powers under the Telangana Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishments Act (TSPDFE Act) and ordered attachment of various movable and immovable properties believed to have been acquired from the deposits collected from innocent investors. Subsequently, the Competent Authority approached the Hon'ble Sessions Court at Hyderabad seeking confirmation of those attachment orders. The Sessions Court, after hearing both sides, made the Government's attachment orders absolute, thereby protecting the attached properties for the benefit of the depositors.

The accused thereafter challenged these orders before the Hon'ble High Court by filing a batch of Criminal Appeals. After hearing extensive arguments, the Hon'ble High Court dismissed all the Criminal Appeals and confirmed the attachment orders, thereby continuing the legal protection over the attached properties under the Depositors Act.

📜 VRPT's Writ Petition No. 17816 of 2026

While these proceedings were continuing, VRPT carefully examined the entire situation and found that several important aspects concerning identification of additional assets, tracing of benami properties, transparency in recovery proceedings, participation of genuine victims and future distribution mechanism required judicial intervention. Accordingly, after extensive preparation, VRPT instituted Writ Petition No. 17816 of 2026 before the Hon'ble High Court for the State of Telangana.

The filing of this Writ Petition represents an independent legal initiative by VRPT intended to strengthen the overall recovery process and to ensure that the interests of genuine victims remain before the Hon'ble High Court throughout every stage of the proceedings.

👥 Active Judicial Contest Underway

The Hon'ble High Court has already taken cognizance of the Writ Petition and notices have been issued in accordance with law. The State Government has entered appearance. The learned Government Pleader is representing the Government before the Hon'ble High Court. Significantly, on 17th July 2026, advocates representing Dr. Patangi Kamalakar Sharma and certain other respondents also entered appearance by filing vakalaths. This development clearly demonstrates that the proceedings initiated by VRPT have become part of an active judicial contest before the Hon'ble High Court.

This is a significant stage in the litigation. Today, the issues raised by VRPT are no longer merely administrative representations. They are now the subject matter of judicial consideration before the Hon'ble High Court, where the Government, investigating authorities and the accused parties are all participating in the legal process.

📋 Every Investor's Responsibility — Claim Registration

The next important responsibility lies with every genuine investor. Legal proceedings concerning thousands of victims require authentic and verifiable records. For this reason, VRPT has developed a secure online Claim Registration System. Every investor is requested to furnish only the essential particulars, namely the Investor's Name, Nominee's Name, Investment Period (From Year – To Year) and the Total Principal Investment Amount.

There is no requirement to furnish year-wise investment details. For example, if investments were made during the years 2015, 2018 and 2022, the applicant should simply mention the investment period as 2015–2022 and the total principal investment amount. This information will enable preparation of a consolidated and verified database of genuine investors.

🔒 Your Information Stays Confidential

The information collected through this process will remain completely confidential. No public list of investors will be displayed. Every applicant will be able to view, edit and download his or her own application whenever required. The entire process can be completed conveniently through a mobile phone.

VRPT wishes to make it absolutely clear that this legal exercise is intended to assist the judicial process by presenting accurate and verified information regarding genuine investor claims. The preparation of a verified database is an important procedural step in strengthening the overall recovery process and ensuring that the claims placed before the authorities are properly documented.

🤝 A Request for Patience & Unity

We also request every investor to understand that recovery proceedings of this nature necessarily involve multiple statutory procedures, judicial scrutiny and coordination among several Government authorities. Patience, unity, discipline and accurate documentation are therefore essential. Every genuine investor is requested not to be influenced by rumours, misinformation or unofficial statements circulated through social media. Please rely only upon official communications issued by VRPT.

We sincerely acknowledge the patience, trust and cooperation extended by thousands of investors during this difficult period. VRPT remains fully committed to continuing this legal battle through constitutional and lawful means until every possible legal remedy available for the benefit of genuine victims has been pursued.

We therefore request every investor to complete the Claim Registration Form immediately and extend full cooperation in this collective legal effort.
