What did the london court say

No attempt to bring Vijay Mallya back to India has been successful yet. Judge Nigel Burnett of the Deputy Court of Bankruptcy and Company Affairs presided over the hearing regarding the withdrawal of money from the court fund office. The hearing took place under the insolvency action being taken by Indian banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI) for non-payment of debt. The order allowed the former Kingfisher Airlines chief to withdraw money from the court to meet his expenses and legal expenses in the ongoing action against the bankruptcy petition.

Money spent will be investigated

During the hearing of the case, the judge said that while Vijay Mallya has been successful in two legal aspects so far, the petitioner Indian Bank has also been successful to a great extent in presenting his case against Mallya’s application. The court said that it is natural to incur legal expenses on hearing the application. So right now Mallya will be given money from the court fund to make this expenditure. However, the court also said that after the verdict in the bankruptcy case, where and in what items Vijay Mallya has spent this money will be investigated.
