Bengaluru: Fugitive tycoon Vijay Mallya offers to sell assets to repay bank loans


Bengaluru, Jun 26 (IANS): Fugitive tycoon Vijay Mallya has sought the Karnataka High Court's permission to let him and his holding firm UBHL sell their assets under judicial supervision and repay creditors, including state-run banks.

"UBHL (United Breweries Holding Ltd) and myself have filed an application before the Karnataka High Court on June 22, setting out available assets of about Rs 13,900 crore," said Mallya in a letter released here on Tuesday.

Mallya has requested the court's permission to allow him to sell the assets under judicial supervision and repay creditors, including the state-run banks such amounts as may be directed and determined by the court.

The 62-year-old liquor baron, who fled the country in March 2016, has been living in London since then despite summons from Indian courts and law enforcement agencies to appear before them for trial in various cases.

    TIMES NOW accesses a letter that Liquor baron Vijay Mallya wrote to the PM Modi in 2016 where he vowed to pay the dues he owes to Indian banks.
    After two years of silence, I have decided to issue a comprehensive press statement. Vijay Mallya writes to public sector banks, says I continue to make all efforts to settle cases with the concerned banks. Further adds “tired of relentless pursuit by the government and criminal agencies.
    As per Public sector bank which lend Rs9,000 crores of bad loans Vijay Mallya is 'Wilful Defaulter'.

    1. Can Banks explain to the nation, how did he manage to own Premier Cricket Team and bid for star players and still sponsor Calendar girls even after his airlines Bankruptcy?
    2. If Mallya claims to repay loan selling his assets, why the banks is not considered taking over the assets when the loan is defaulted?
    3. How did 'Economic offender' can clear the Indian Air Space without the knowledge of the Central Home Ministry, Ministry of Finance and Ministry External Affairs?

    Vijay Mallya loses case in UK by Indian banks trying to recover $1.5 Billion. He can't escape the economic offence and offence if prosecuted in UK. So he is trying to come back to India to get new lease of life in nation cases drags years before offender dies of natural death.

    Hope these 'assets' are truly his! Also, why do we need his permission to sell his assets when all Banks, courts and CBI have declared him a wilful defaulter? Hope this is not a ploy to enjoy several more English summers and fool the English Courts ??

    Why can't court permit Mr. Mallya to go ahead and do this selling assets idea, within a limited time frame. This will help Indian Govt to recover some monies at least.
    If our systems are correct and transparent, this is an opportunity to get back some amount at least.
    Central Govt along with RBI's guidance and legal n judicial help, should start working on this immediately before Mr, Mallya changes his mind and issues another statement.
    If this offer is not accepted, then we know for sure that " there is hands in gloves " of our Political Babus behind all this drama.
