MUMBAI: Vijay Mallya has lost his plea in the UK Supreme Court to appeal against a 2018 extradition order, triggering a 28-day “required period” after which the 64-year-old businessman could be sent to India.
Mallya is facing charges of bank fraud and money laundering in India.
While the rejection of permission to appeal has likely ended the legal options available for him in the UK to avoid extradition, he could still approach the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) claiming that he would not receive a fair trial back home, legal experts said.
