Supreme Court Order In Vijay Mallya Contempt Case On Monday

Come next week, the Supreme Court will pronounce its order in a 2017 contempt case against fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, presently in London, for withholding information from court.

A bench of Justices UU Lalit, Ravindra S Bhat and PS Narasimha will pronounce the order on Monday. The bench had reserved the order on March 10 in the case.

The Supreme Court had held the businessman guilty of contempt of court for transferring USD 40 million to his children in violation of the court’s order and sought his presence before it on various occasions.

On February 10, the top court granted the last opportunity of two weeks for Vijay Mallya to personally present himself or through his counsel in the contempt case against him and if he fails to do so the court would take the matter to the logical conclusion.
