SC adjourns Vijay Mallya’s contempt case hearing for next week
The Supreme Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing for next week of the contempt case against fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya who was found guilty in a contempt case for withholding information from the court.
The matter was listed before the bench of Justices UU Lalit, S Ravindra Bhat and PS Narasimha.
The top court had held Mallya guilty of contempt of court for transferring USD 40 million to his children in violation of the court’s order and sought his presence before it on various occasions.
On February 10, the Supreme Court granted the last opportunity of two weeks to Mallya to personally present or through counsel in the contempt case against him and if he fails to do so the court will take the matter to a logical conclusion.
