Singapore’s High Court has rejected an appeal from India’s Singh brothers and upheld an earlier order that they must pay a $526 million award to Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd., according to people familiar with the matter.

The verdict is the latest court victory for the Japanese drugmaker as it seeks to enforce a finding by a Singapore tribunal that Malvinder and Shivinder Singh concealed information during the sale of their drugmaker, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., a decade ago. Ranbaxy plead guilty to the distribution of adulterated drugs and had to pay the U.S. Department of Justice a $500 million penalty in 2013 after Daiichi bought it from the Singhs.
