Former billionaire Vijay Mallya is one step closer to being forced to return to India to face fraud charges after a London court made further U.K. challenges to his extradition nearly impossible.
Two judges said Thursday that the fallen tycoon’s case raises no issues of public interest, all but ruling out an appeal to the U.K. Supreme Court. The 64-year-old Mallya, who’s on bail, has lost a series of court challenges since 2018.
