Banks plead with SC to reject Mallya's petitions

Divan said Mallya had violated orders of both the Karnataka High Court and SC

Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi on Thursday told the Supreme Court (SC) that the government was trying its best to extradite liquor baron Vijay Mallya, and till he appeared in court, none of his petitions should be entertained.
 
Rohatgi, representing the consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India, was addressing the court on the concluding day of a contempt hearing against Mallya, who is in England. While reserving its order on the petition moved by the consortium, the court did not give any date for the verdict.
 
Mallya, chairman of the UB Group, left India on March
