Mumbai: The 63rd metropolitan magistrate AA Laulkar today issued a non-bailable warrant against business tycoon Vijay Mallya.
The Mumbai court had earlier in may this year directed Mallya to appear before it in July "as a last chance". During the hearing, an advocate appearing for Mallya told the court that since Mallya's passport has been revoked by the government of India, he can't come to the country. So, the matter should be heard without him being present in court, he said.
The case dates back to 2012 when two cheques handed out by Mallya's now defunct Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) to Airport Authority of India (AAI) had bounced. The total money riding on the cheques were of about 107 crores which were due from KFA. These cheques had bounced in 2012 and were of Rs 50 crores and 57 crores each.
Soon AAI filed two cases of cheque bouncing against Kingfisher and six others including Mallya in the Andheri metropolitan court. While the case was being heard, Mallya had been granted permanent exemption by the court.
After the goverment woke up to Mallya having left the country on March 2 this year, AAI filed two applications. One application sought cancellation of permanent exemption granted to him by court and the other asked for a non-bailable warrant to be issued against him.
