Latest News about Vijay Mallya
Vijay Mallya told the Bombay High Court that he cannot say when he will return to India because he is legally barred from leaving England and Wales under UK court orders and no longer has a valid Indian passport. The court had required his personal appearance to hear his challenge to the Fugitive Economic Offenders designation, and the matter was set for further proceedings after his affidavit and the government's response.
Vijay Mallya lost an appeal against a UK bankruptcy order issued by London's High Court over debts of more than 1 billion pounds owed to Indian banks, including the State Bank of India. The court rejected his argument that the liabilities had already been covered through asset seizures in India, and held that the bankruptcy order remains in force.
