PASSPORT BID: Home Affairs urges court not to ‘facilitate’ Atul Gupta’s efforts to evade prosecution

The Department of Home Affairs says fraud-accused Atul Gupta’s high court bid for a new South African passport is misguided and misdirected.

His founding affidavit merely states that he is “resident” in Dubai while he has deposed to affidavits under oath for this case via MS Teams. While Dubai has widely been regarded as the Gupta family’s primary base since they fled South Africa several years ago, there have been reports of Gupta business activity in Uzbekistan and India.

He approached the South African court in January 2021 to review and set aside what he believed was a decision not to issue him with a new passport and alternatively, its alleged failure to make such a decision. Brothers Ajay and Rajesh Gupta arrive as VIP guests at the ANC’s national conference on 17 December 2012 in Mangaung, Free State.
