London: The next submissions hearing in the extradition trial of Vijay Mallya over alleged fraud and money laundering amounting to Rs 9,000 crores remains uncertain as the case was today not discussed in a London court due to differences among lawyers on a mutually convenient date.
Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot was listed to hear the case at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today, with the 62- year-old embattled liquor baron exempt from attending.
However, the case was not discussed in the court as the lawyers are yet to agree on a mutually convenient date.
The next hearing date is expected within the next few weeks, to be determined internally between the legal counsels and announced at a later date.
The case had been left undecided over the issue of admissibility of evidence presented by the Indian authorities at a hearing earlier this month.
Judge Arbuthnot is set to rule on the issue once Mallya's defence team completes its argument claiming "absence of a strong prima facie case" and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), arguing on behalf of the Indian government, responds in favour of the evidence.
