Finding Mallya prima-facie guilty of fraud and criminal breach of trust, The Bulandshahr Magistrate Court summoned the Kingfisher Airlines' chief along with the company vice chairman Roopi Arya
A Court in Bulandshahr has summoned Vijay Mallya, chairman-cum-managing director of now defunct Kingfisher Airlines. A pilot working for the carrier filed a petition in the court alleging that Kingfisher Airlines was withholding his payment dues.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Umakant Jindal , after finding Mallya prima-facie guilty of fraud and criminal breach of trust under section 420 and 406 of IPC, has summoned him along with company vice chairman Roopi Arya.
The court's order came in the wake of a complaint filed in court by a co-pilot of the airline contending that the accused were not paying his dues amounting to over Rs28 lakh notwithstanding a written assurance by Arya.
Akash Sharma, the complainant, asserted that he had joined Deccan Aviation Company as a co-pilot in 2006 which was later taken over by Kingfisher that later abandoned its operation in 2012.
Despite assurances by Arya, Rs28.50 lakh were not paid to him, he alleged in his petition.
The court has also directed Bengaluru's Superintendent of Police to ensure attendance of the accused in the Court on 6th October.
