On the one side is Vijay Mallya, the most high-profile individual (requested person in legalese) sought by India so far. Mallya’s case has often figured in recent bilateral talks, including during the February visit here of Union finance minister Arun Jaitley. Indian court judgements, human rights reports and newspaper accounts (including at least one in Hindustan Times) were also cited to allege inhuman treatment and torture. An ‘assurance’ by the ministry of home affairs in Chawla’s case was dismissed by the same court trying Mallya as ‘insufficient’. Both sides will have the option to appeal against the decision in the high court and the Supreme Court.
