Bombay High Court Seeks ED Update as Vijay Mallya Asset Dispute Nears Closure
The Bombay High Court has urged closure of the long-standing dispute over Vijay Mallya's asset recovery, noting a 2020 petition challenging asset seizures is now redundant as most assets have been attached and dealt with. Mallya's lawyer claimed banks have recovered around Rs 15,000 crore against original dues of Rs 6,203 crore plus interest. The court directed the Enforcement Directorate to clarify if the settlement process is complete, emphasizing that criminal proceedings against Mallya will continue independently.
