Vijay Mallya sentenced to 4 months’ jail by SC

Fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya has been sentenced to four months imprisonment by the Supreme Court on Monday for contempt of court. He is also directed to pay a fine of Rs. 2000.

Mallya was convicted of contempt in 2017 over transferring $40 million to his children in violation of court orders in a case filed by a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India.

“To uphold the majesty of justice, we must impose adequate punishment,” said the bench of Justices UU Lalit, S Ravindra Bhat and PS Narasimha.

The apex country also said that the transaction of 40 million dollars is void and inoperable, ordering the beneficiaries to return the amount with 8 per cent interest to the recovery officer within four weeks. If they do not return the amount, Vijay Mallya’s properties can be attached, the bench said.
