In Vijay Mallya case, a certain document related with the case in the Supreme Court has gone missing from the apex court files.
Vijay Vittal Mallya is an Indian businessman and former Member of Parliament. He is the subject of an extradition effort by the Indian Government to return him from the UK to face charges of financial crimes in India.
The Supreme Court today said it would hear on August 20 the petition filed by businessman Vijay Mallya.
It was hearing the review plea filed by Mallya against a July 14, 2017 judgment wherein he was found guilty of contempt for not paying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks despite repeated directions, although he had transferred $40 million to his children.
The bench was looking for a reply on an intervention application, which it seemed has gone missing from the case papers.
Parties involved in the case sought more time to file fresh copies.
In March 2016, Mallya had offered to deposit Rs 4,000 crore as settlement, which included pending suits by his companies including the now defunct
Kingfisher Airlines for settlement. A month later, he had increased the offer to Rs 6.868 crore.
