HC defers hearing on Vijay Mallya’s plea on summon

New Delhi: Delhi High Court today did not hear liquor baron Vijay Mallya’s plea challenging summons issued to him by a trial court in several cheque-bouncing cases in which he has to appear on February 20.

Justice Sunil Gaur fixed May 8 for hearing of the matter after the counsel for the parties requested adjournment.


The trial court had summoned Mallya as an accused after GMR-led Delhi International Airport (DIAL), which operates the capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, had moved the trial court after a cheque amounting to Rs one crore issued by Kingfisher Airlines Ltd on February 22, 2012 was returned to them a month later containing the remarks “fund insufficient”.

DIAL filed four cases against Mallya for dishonor of cheques for a total amount of Rs 7.5 crore.

The airline had issued the cheques towards payment for services availed by them at the IGI airport here.
