Shocking development: Mallya hires Queen’s Counsel in his defense


There couldn’t be anything more ironical than man who claimed to not have any money to pay back to the banks, not only a few months ago and now hiring a ‘formidable member of the bar’ in the UK to defend his case. Mallya, who not only claimed to the Supreme Court of India of not having any money to pay back his enormous debt to Indian banks, has now hired the Queen’s Counsel to fight his case in the United Kingdom.

In a shocking move, Claire Montgomery is the lawyer who will defend Mallya’s case. She is the Queen’s Counsel and will be fighting the Indian government in their attempts to extradite Mallya to India. She’s most likely to defend him in the upcoming hearings in British courts. According to a report done by Business Standard, Montgomery has been described as ‘a superstar and frighteningly intelligent’ and is referred to be as ‘comfortable at all levels of the court system’ by a report in Legal-500 in 2015-16.

She had defended Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet when he was detained in London to be facing extradition to Spain. She also acted as the defense counsel of the former Chief Executive of Hong Kong Donald Tsang GBM over charges of public office misconduct.

The beleaguered businessman is wanted in India over charges of money laundering and loan defaulting. The liquor baron owes thousands of crores to various Indian banks. The extradition process between the Great Britain and India is torturous. No absconder has ever been involuntarily repatriated by the British court and according to Nirmal Singh 3C company, this will be a tough case to crack.

There’s a preliminary hearing on May 17th and after that happens, the actual hearing for extradition will take place later in the year sometime. According to the Home Office guidelines, the judge must be convinced and satisfied that the conduct amounts to an extradition offence and that there is prima facie of evidence of guilt and lastly whether the extradition will breach his consumer rights. Whatever be the ruling, either of the parties can appeal the case to the High Court and the Supreme Court.


According to the revered set of lawyers at Nirmal Singh 3C Company, this is an extreme measure that Mallya has resorted to and shows that the former Kingfisher-owner is sitting on huge sums of money which can be easily returned to the Indian banks and diluted just enough to pay back all the citizens as well.
