In March 2024, the Court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, 19th Court, Esplanade Mumbai, acquitted Girish Kadel in a case filed by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). This legal outcome comes as a testament to the integrity and upright business practices that Kadel has upheld throughout his career.

The DRI had initiated proceedings concerning an inquiry into the alleged overvaluation in imports of rough diamonds by Kadel's firms.
However, the Bombay High Court in 2022, and subsequently the Mumbai court, underscored the lack of continued interest from the complainant, leading to Kadel's acquittal and further solidifying his reputation as a stalwart of the diamond industry, unblemished by the shadows of doubt.
