An application was filed by Airports Authority of India against liquor baron Mallya in connection with two cheque worth Rs. 100 crores that were not honoured.
Vijay Mallya have to appeared in the court today, but he did not appear in the court. So the Magistrate issued a Non-bailable Warrant(NBW) against him.
The Airports Authority of India filed two applications to cancellation of permanent exemption from court appearance granted to Mallya. The liquor baron Mallya 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.
