Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate’s court on Saturday issued a non-bailable warrant against defunct Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya in a cheque bounce case against him.
Earlier in May, the court had directed Mallya to appear before it on the next hearing in July, failing which it had said it will issue a warrant against him.
The metropolitan magistrate’s court in suburban Andheri was hearing applications filed by Airports Authority of India (AAI) against M/s Kingfisher Airlines in connection with two cheques of Rs 100 crore which were dishonoured.
The two applications filed by AAI sought cancellation of permanent exemption from court appearance granted to 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.
