UK court rejects Indian businessman Vijay Mallya's request to appeal against extradition order
London, Apr 8 (IBNS): In a major development, a judge in the appeals court of the high court on Monday rejected fugitive Indian liquor baron Vijay Mallya's written appeal against an extradition order.
A verbal hearing into the matter will be held next.
UK's Secretary of State this year signed the order for his extradition to India to face trial for defaulting of loans and money syphoning.
Mallya, owner of the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines who now lives in the UK, fled India in March 2016.
He owes around Rs. 9,000 crore to banks and faces trial on different counts ranging from defaulting of loans and money syphoning.
