Vijay Mallya discontinues bankruptcy annulment application in UK

Vijay Mallya, wanted in India to face trial on fraud and money laundering charges, has discontinued an application to annul a UK bankruptcy order ahead of a planned hearing in London on Monday. It means the "Trustee in Bankruptcy" can continue to pursue assets to help a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI) realise the repayment of an estimated judgment debt of around 1.05 billion pounds owed by the 69-year-old's now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. A High Court hearing to set the directions for the annulment application to be heard was vacated after Mallya's legal team filed a notice of discontinuance last week. Vijay Mallya's Trustee in Bankruptcy will be able to continue with their work in investigating and realising assets falling within his bankruptcy estate without any hindrance that this application might have caused them, UK law firm TLT LLP, representing the banks, said in a statement. It follows High Court Judge Anthony Mann's ruling in favour of the banks

Vijay Mallya pursues annulment of UK bankruptcy order over 'unreal quality'

Embattled businessman Vijay Mallya believes Indian banks pursuing bankruptcy proceedings against him in the English courts have assumed an unreal quality in the wake of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's recent statement in Parliament and has instructed his lawyers to pursue an annulment application. It emerged as Justice Anthony Mann reserved judgment, to be handed down at a later date after hearings of three interlinked appeals related to Mallya's bankruptcy order concluded at the High Court in London this week. The judge heard a set of complicated arguments involving a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI) seeking repayment of an estimated judgment debt of around GBP 1.05 billion owed by the 69-year-old businessman's now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. From Dr Mallya's perspective, these English bankruptcy proceedings have an unreal quality, Leigh Crestohl, Managing Partner of Zaiwalla and CoMallya's recently appointed lawyers, told PTI.

Embattled businessman Vijay Mallya's attempt to overturn a bankruptcy order imposed on him by the High Court in England over three years ago has returned for appeal hearings in London this week. During a hearing at the Chancery Division in London on Wednesday, Justice Anthony Mann ruled against an adjournment petition by Mallya who was not present and represented in court by recently appointed Zaiwalla & Co lawyer Kartik Mittal and barrister Mark Watson-Gandy. The judge then went on to hear a set of interlinked appeals related to the 69-year-old businessman, separately wanted in India on fraud and money laundering charges. The appeals this week relate to a consortium of Indian banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI) seeking the repayment of an estimated judgment debt of around GBP 1.05 billion owed by his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines.

Nirav Modi, Mallya fled India due to agencies' delay in arrest, says court

Businessmen involved in multi-million dollar scams, such as Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and Vijay Mallya, were able to flee the country because probe agencies failed to arrest them at the proper time, a special court here said recently. Special judge M G Deshpande made the remark while hearing a plea of an accused booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) seeking modification in his bail condition. The court on May 29 accepted the plea of Vyomesh Shah, an accused in a money laundering case, to drop the bail condition of getting the court's prior permission to travel abroad. The detailed order was made available recently. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had argued that allowing Shah's application would give rise to situations like Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and Mehul Choksi. Rejecting the probe agency's contention, the judge said, "I thoughtfully examined this argument and felt it necessary to note that all these persons fled because of the failure of the investigating
