India insisted on Friday that documents and witness statements submitted to the Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court were evidence of \u201cthree chapters of dishonesty\u201d on the part of businessman Vijay Mallya, who is facing charges of financial misconduct in India.<\/p>\n
The hearing in Mallya\u2019s extradition case witnessed intense arguments as judge Emma Arbuthnot remarked that the case resembled a \u201cjigsaw puzzle,\u201d but said it was clear now from the various pieces that \u201cbanks ignored their own guidelines…rules were broken,\u201d referring to the loans taken by Mallya and his companies.<\/p>\n
Facing allegations of financial misconduct to the tune of Rs. 9,000 crores, Mallya, who was briefly arrested last year, had his bail extended until April 27, the next date of hearing.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the hearing focussed on the admissibility of India\u2019s documents against Mallya which, his lawyer Claire Montgomery claimed, were worthless. The judge asked for details about sources of some submitted emails, which the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), acting on India\u2019s behalf, will submit by April 20.<\/p>\n
CPS lawyer Mark Summers said some emails from Mallya proved intention of fraud, and alleged that he had concocted a story of duress to \u201cfurther fraud\u201d. Mallya\u2019s villa on Goa was also mentioned in connection with this.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had no intention to honour obligations under the loans taken\u201d, Summers said, and told the judge that Mallya\u2019s actions were part of his \u201cfraudulent scheme\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
