The Bombay High Court has firmly reiterated its stance that it will not consider fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya's petition challenging the Fugitive Economic Offenders (FEO) Act until he returns to India. A bench led by Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar stated that Mallya must first clarify his intentions regarding returning to the country, emphasizing that his plea cannot be heard if he remains abroad and avoids court processes. Mallya, who has been in the UK since 2016 and faces fraud and money laundering charges, has filed two petitions challenging his declaration as a fugitive economic offender and the constitutional validity of the 2018 FEO Act. The court has granted him another opportunity, requiring him to file an affidavit explicitly stating whether he is ready to return, despite his counsel arguing that pleas can be heard without physical presence. The government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, argued that Mallya should return to India first and that his challenges to the FEO Act appear to be a reaction to his impending extradition from the UK.
