The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned to March 10 the hearing on the question of punishment of fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, found guilty of contempt.
A Bench led by Justice U.U. Lalit is mulling over whether the court can punish Mr. Mallya in absentia or whether it should appoint an amicus curiae for him.
The case has seen a series of adjournments recently. In a hearing on February 10, the Bench had said it wanted Mr. Mallya, who is believed to be in the United Kingdom, or a lawyer representing him, to come clean on whether he intends to address the court on the punishment.
