Embattled liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya has been denied permission by a UK Hugh Court judge to appeal against his extradition order to India to face alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to Rs 9,000 crores.
The 63-year-old former Kingfisher Airlines boss had filed the application in the High Court after UK home secretary Sajid Javid signed off on a Westminster Magistrates바카라 Court order for his extradition to face the Indian courts back in February.
"The application for permission to appeal was refused by Mr Justice William Davis on 05/04/2019," said a spokesperson for the UK judiciary.
"The appellant (Mallya) has five business days to apply for oral consideration. If a renewal application is made, it will be listed before a High Court judge and dealt with at a hearing," the spokesperson said.
The application seeking 바카라leave to appeal바카라 had been passed on to a single judge, who was to make a decision on the basis of papers submitted as part of the application. Now that the 바카라judge on papers바카라 application has been rejected by Judge Davis, Mallya has the option to submit for a 바카라renewal바카라.
The renewal process will lead to a brief oral hearing during which Mallya's legal team and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) 바카라 on behalf of the Indian government 바카라 will renew their respective claims for and against an appeal for a judge to determine if it can proceed to a full hearing.
Mallya has been based in the UK since March 2016 and remains on bail on an extradition warrant executed by Scotland Yard in April 2017.
In her verdict at the end of a year-long extradition trial in December last year, Judge Emma Arbuthnot had ruled that the "flashy" billionaire had a "case to answer" in the Indian courts.
