Kingfisher Airlines loan case: Bombay High Court gives foreign travel nod to former SBI chairman
The Bombay High Court on Thursday allowed former State Bank of India (SBI) chairman Om Prakash Bhatt, summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for interrogation over loans to fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya for his Kingfisher Airlines, to travel abroad.
The court, however, asked Bhatt to keep the central agency informed of his travel dates and relevant details.
A division bench of Justice S S Shinde and Justice Manish Pitale on April 8 passed a judgment on writ plea by Bhatt, who was aggrieved by travel restrictions imposed on him.
Senior Counsel Prasad Dhakephalkar for Bhatt had told the court that his client was wrongly detained at the Mumbai airport in September 2018 by immigration officials.
