Former liquor baron Vijay Mallya will get one more shot at appealing against his extradition to India but it could, for all purposes, be delaying the inevitable.
Though the UK courts are not known to be swayed by political considerations, Mallya can go ahead and appeal before the Supreme Court within the next 14 days. “But the Supreme Court would only interfere if there is a substantial question of law. And that is not the case here,” Anandaday Misshra, Founder and managing director of the legal firm, Amlegals, told BusinessLine.
He said if Mallya prefers that appeal, that period would be waited for and the UK Home Secretary is expected to formally certify the court order for Mallya to be extradited to India within 28 days.
