Bangalore: The Special Court for Economic Offences in Bangalore on Thursday ordered summons to be issued to Kingfisher Airlines and chairman Vijay Mallya in cases filed by the Income Tax (I-T) department against the airline for allegedly not remitting the tax deducted from employees' salaries.
The development comes three weeks after the Karnataka High Court rejected Mallya's plea seeking the quashing of proceedings in these cases.
The I-T department had filed three cases with the Special Court for Economic Offences in 2013 in connection with the airline's failure to remit tax deducted at source (TDS) for three consecutive financial years beginning 2009-10.
The department has claimed TDS of around R400 crore from KFA, which is disputing the quantum of the tax demand.
Mallya had approached the Karnataka High Court in August 2013 seeking quashing of these cases.
