Vijay Mallya will have a final chance on 2 July to convince the High Court in London why he should not be extradited to face charges of fraud
London: April 30, 2019
Westminster Magistrates Court ordered his extradition to India in December, 2018 and confirmed by the Home Secretary, Sajid Javed, in February.
- If the High Court further confirms the extradition warrant, Mallya’s final recourse to prevent his enforced removal to India within 28 days would be to convince the European Court of Human Justice that under the provisions of its Rule 39 he would not receive a fair trial in India or that he would be held in inhumane conditions.
- Legal sources say it will be difficult to make such as case as the Indian authorities have upgraded the Arthur Road jail in Mumbai to meet his medical needs and have already convinced Westminster Magistrates that he will await trial in conditions that meet international standards.
- Mallya has, however, always maintained that the charges against him are trumped up and politically motivated
- Mallya’s counsel asked the court for an injunction against the confiscation of Mallya’s properties in India, but this was refused.
- On Thursday 's hearing, Mallya’s lawyer told the Bombay High Court that by declaring him a fugitive economic offender and allowing attachment of his assets, a special court had given him an “economic death penalty”, saying that the “debts and the interest on such debts are mounting”.
The Fugitive Economic Offenders Act that have been used against him, his counsel said Mallya had sufficient assets to pay off his “debts but the government won’t allow the use of these assets to clear the debts
Mallya criticise the government and banks for spending money on legal fees to recover money from him in the UK when he had offered to repay them in full in India.

Vijay Mallya To Be Extradited, Rules London Court
On December 10, 2018, UK, Westminster Magistrates’ Court ruled that Mr. Mallya, 62, should be extradited to India, sending the case to Home Secretary of State. The case is now in the hands of Home Secretary, Sajid Javid.
India had made a formal extradition request to the UK government in February 2017 for alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to an estimated Rs 9,000 crores.
- Mr Mallya failed to convince the court that his prosecution was politically motivated. Mr Mallya believed that "clearly this is extremely political."
- Mr Mallya has 14 days to appeal to the High Court.
Mr. Vijay Mallya’s lawyers have argued that there was no sufficient evidence to pursue a case against him and that the prosecution was politically motivated. They also said he was at risk of being subjected to a flagrantly unfair trial because of a combination of political pressure and media reporting.
