A judge at London’s High Court has rejected Vijay Mallya’s application for permission to appeal against the extradition order against him. The order was passed last week, on Friday, by Justice William Davis and sent to all parties on that date. It is, however, not necessarily the end of the story.
This application to appeal was made on paper — via the exchange of documents between the judge and both sides.
Now, Mallya’s legal team can make a renewal application for a brief oral hearing before the same court, in another attempt to push for an appeal hearing. If it were to be rejected at this stage, there would be no further recourse in terms of the appeal process.
