The Supreme Court has sought an evidence from its own Registry on why a review petition filed by fugitive industrialist Vijay Mallya wasn't listed for the last three years.
On May 9, 2017, the Supreme Court had directed the liquor baron to seem before it on
July 10, after finding him guilty of contempt of court during a loan default case.
Mallya is an accused in a very loan default case
of over Rs 9,000 crore involving the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines. The
plea within the Apex Court was filed by a consortium of banks.
However, soon after the Supreme writ of May 9, Mallya had filed a
review petition.
In an order passed on June 16, the Bench of Justices UU Lalit and Ashok Bhushan
noted that the review was filed within the amount of
limitation, but was still unlisted for 3 years.
The Bench has now caught up an evidence from the
Supreme Court Registry on why the case wasn't listed
during this point. it's also asked
for the names of the officers involved within the process.
"We direct the Registry to clarify why the
Review Petition wasn't listed before the concerned Court for last three years. The
Registry to furnish all the main points including
names of the officials who had addressed the file
concerning the Review Petition for last three years."- Supreme Court
The Court has now given the Registry a two-week deadline to reply.
Vijay Mallya has been declared a proclaimed offender by India. The Supreme
Court's intervention in May 2017 was seen as impetus for the enforcement agencies who
had been trying hard to urge the liquor baron extradited to
India from the uk.
