The Indian government has handover extradition request to the British high commission in New Delhi on February 2017.
There are 14 days time for Mallya to ‘apply for leave’ appeal in high court. If no appeal is approved, Mallya has to deport back to india within 28 days of the home secretary's order.
“The anticipated appeal process starts 14 days from now. I can now appeal the Westminster magistrate’s order. I could not do so till the home secretary made a decision. After the court decision I said I would appeal and now I can.” said Mallya.
