The Supreme Court of India bench led by Justices UU Lalit and Ashok Bhushan today dismissed the review petition of absconding businessman Vijay Mallya in which he challenged the order holding him guilty of contempt. The bench said it found no merits in review petitions filed by the former liquor baron. The top court found Mallya guilty on May 9, 2017, for transferring $40 million received from Diageo into his children's accounts.
