Bombay High Court Seeks ED Clarification as Vijay Mallya Asset Dispute Nears Conclusion
The Bombay High Court on August 12 indicated that the prolonged dispute over Vijay Mallya's unpaid dues should be concluded, following his lawyer's statement that a 2020 petition challenging asset seizures is now redundant as most assets have been attached and dealt with. The court directed the Enforcement Directorate to clarify if the settlement process is complete, emphasizing that this will not affect ongoing criminal proceedings against Mallya. The court will decide further steps after hearing from the ED deputy director.
