The Delhi High Court yesterday ordered the attachment of all unencumbered assets of two holding companies of former promoters of India's Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd to execute the Rs 3,500 crore arbitral award won by Japanese pharma major Daiichi Sankyo.

Justice Jayant Nath issued the warrants for attaching the unencumbered assets of RHC Holdings Pvt Ltd and Oscar Investments Pvt Ltd and directed former Ranbaxy promoters and brothers, Malvinder Singh and Shivinder Singh, and 10 others to file within 10 days a list of their unencumbered assets.
