Ajay Piramal: How Many Times Are You Seeking “Blanket” Stay Orders?

This article critically examines Ajay Piramal, portraying him as a hypocritical “Paramavaiṣṇava” (a non-violent Vaishnava devotee) who acts as an “Eco-Terrorist” by exploiting and damaging natural and financial ecosystems. It highlights his alleged dual personality, contrasting his philanthropic image with violent environmental violations and financial manipulations. Two key instances are discussed: (1) Piramal Enterprises’ pollution of groundwater in Telangana, fined by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), where a partial stay order was misinterpreted as a “blanket” one; and (2) his Supreme Court stay on the NCLAT’s 2022 ruling invalidating his acquisition of DHFL as illegal and irregular. The piece accuses Piramal of repeatedly seeking stay orders to evade accountability, links his actions to cronyism with figures like Mukesh Ambani, and references his wife’s alleged illegal tree chopping. It positions these as part of broader critiques in prior articles, emphasizing the suffering of human and non-human victims while questioning the ethics of wealth concentration in India.
