Airport Authority Of India Seeks Arrest Warrant Against Vijay Mallya

Vijay Mallya had left the country amid an outcry over his airline defaulting on repayment of over Rs 9,000 crore to the banks.

Mumbai: A metropolitan magistrate's court in suburban Andheri on Friday reserved its order on applications filed by Airport Authority of India (AAI) seeking an arrest warrant against industrialist Vijay Mallya.

The AAI has filed two cheque bouncing cases against Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines in the court.

"The Court of 63rd Metropolitan Magistrate...has reserved the orders on the two applications in two cases of cheque bouncing of over Rs 100 crore against M/s Kingfisher Airlines and others," a release from AAI said.

Through these two applications, the AAI has sought cancellation of permanent exemption from court appearance granted to Mr Mallya, who has since left the country amid an outcry over his airline defaulting on repayment of over Rs 9,000 crore to the banks, and sought an arrest warrant against him.

AAI's lawyer argued that in view of cancellation of Mr Mallya's passport, his lawyer may not be able to produce him in the court if the court orders so.

The court is likely to pass its order today.
