New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea of fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya seeking review of its 2017 order holding him guilty of contempt of court for transferring USD 40 million to his children.
A bench comprising justices U U Lalit and Ashok Bhushan said, “We do not find any merits. Review petition dismissed.”
The apex court had reserved its verdict on the review plea on August 27 after hearing arguments from both sides.
Mallya had filed the petition seeking review of the apex court’s May 9, 2017 order by which he was held guilty of contempt of court for transferring USD 40 million to his children in violation of the order.
