The bench was Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih. The cost to the bank is not yet known, and I found no Yes Bank statement.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Yes Bank shares fell about 9% to Rs 19.30 on 15 October 2026, and the headline puts the fall at 10%, after the Supreme Court refused to interfere with a Bombay High Court judgment that quashed the write-off of Rs 8,415 crore of AT-1 bonds. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih dismissed the appeals by Yes Bank and another party and said it saw no reason to interfere with the High Court&#8217;s January 2023 judgment. The 2020 write-off by the RBI appointed administrator therefore stays quashed, but the court&#8217;s reported order gives no direction on how or whether the bondholders will be paid. The financial cost to the bank is still unclear, so investors should watch for a Yes Bank statement, capital ratios and any next legal step.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The AT-1 bond case is one of the longest running disputes in Indian banking. It began in March 2020, when Yes Bank was rescued under an RBI led plan and its AT-1 bonds were written down to zero overnight.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains the ruling, the history, how the shares reacted, what the judgment does and does not say, and what investors should watch. One news site said the case had no final outcome yet, which conflicts with the court report, and I explain which source I trust.<\/p>\n<p>The effect on Yes Bank&#8217;s finances depends on steps that have not been announced, so the sections below separate fact from guesswork.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
