While people were thinking that Indian judiciary system is working proficiently in stopping liquor baron Vijay Mallya from leaving India, after he legally escaped from a loan of Rs 7,000 Cr from banks, a rude shock has come out.
Mallya had left India on March 2nd itself, the day when the consortium of 17 Public sector Banks moved the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) against him. The 17 banks had appealed Supreme Court to not let Mallya leave India by impounding his Passport.
When he was asked about Mallya’s whereabouts, Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi, who is representing the banks, told Supreme Court that CBI has informed him about Mallya leaving India on 2nd March itself. He urged Apex Court to issue an order directing Mallya to appear before the bench.
He stated most of Vijay Mallya’s assets are in the UK so he might have gone to England only. It has to be seen how far the Indian government succeeds in nabbing Mallya once he is out of the country.
