London: Liquor Baron Vijay Mallya, hours after losing the extradition appeal at the High Court of England and Wales tweeted that he is ‘naturally disappointed’.

While stating that he will continue to pursue further legal remedies, Mallya reiterated his offer to repay what he owes Indian banks.

In a series of tweets, Mallya said that the banks have already recovered a sum of Rs 2500 crores which is 50 percent of the Principal amount.

“I have repeatedly offered to repay the Banks in full but, sadly to no avail,” one of the tweets read. 

Mallya tweeted: “I am naturally disappointed with the High Court decision. I will continue to pursue further legal remedies as advised by my lawyers. I am also disappointed with the media narrative which states that I must face trial in India for a fraud of Rs 9000 crores”.  

Justice Stephen Irwin and Justice Elisabeth Laing on Monday dismissed his appeal, upholding the Westminster Magistrates Court’s December 2018 ruling that concluded that Mallya had a prima facie case to answer in Indian courts for charges of financial offences.
