The Bombay High Court asked the Enforcement Directorate to update the court on the status of investigations and asset attachments in Vijay Mallya’s long-running dispute with a consortium of banks led by SBI.

Vijay Mallya told the Bombay High Court that he cannot specify a return date to India because UK courts bar him from leaving England and Wales and he no longer has valid international travel documents. The court sought a formal affidavit and the Union government’s response before deciding the next step in his challenge to the Fugitive Economic Offenders proceedings.
