Arya was charged by FICAC in 2017 with one count each of abuse of Office and general dishonesty causing a Loss.

In the first charge, High Court Judge Justice Riyaz Hamza acquitted Arya stating that prosecution had failed to provide any relevant or admissible evidence to establish the essential ingredient of the offence of abuse of Office.
