Vancouver: A man acquitted in the Air India bombings has repaid the British Columbia government $6.3 million in legal costs and now he wants it back.
Ripudaman Singh Malik is arguing he should be granted an appeal of the judgment that required him to hand over the money the government paid to cover his 2003 and 2004 trial costs. A court hearing is scheduled on the matter next week.
Malik also sued the B.C. and federal governments for malicious prosecution and violation of his charter rights but has discontinued that application.
On Tuesday, a lawyer for the millionaire businessman told the B.C. Court of Appeal that the Appeal Court judge made errors in fact when deciding Malik must pay back the legal fees.
