But one controversial business tycoon has taken luxury mansions to new heights — 400 feet, to be precise.Sitting on top of a 33-story luxury apartment complex in Bengaluru, India, this sky mansion is over 40,000 square feet with two floors, a helipad, lush gardens, an infinity swimming pool, and a 360-degree viewing deck.<div type="image" title="Mallya's mansion" height="413" width="647" msid="108732954" hostid="261"></div>Irfan Razac, the chairman of Prestige Estates Projects, which is part of a joint development agreement to construct the tower, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.livemint.com/Companies/65IM1NYBFFgqWAF2osxIUO/Vijay-Mallyas-20-million-sky-mansion-is-almost-ready-B.html">previously said of the project</a>: "It was a challenge to construct the mansion on a huge cantilever at that height, but we have ensured we build it exactly the way it was conceived."Prestige Constructions did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.The house has an estimated value of $20 million.Another spectacular home owned by India's superrich is <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ambani-house-photos-altamount-road-mumbai-spa-parking-amenities-art-2024-3">the Ambani family's Mumbai tower, Antilia.</a> It cost an estimated $1 billion to build. It includes nine elevators, a 50-seat cinema, a full-service spa, a 168-car garage, and three helipads.The Ambani residence is 27 stories high, although its many double-height ceilings mean it's closer in height to a traditional 40-story building.<div type="image" title="The Antilia tower stands tall above the Mumbai skyline" height="853" width="1280" msid="108732955" hostid="261"></div>The sky mansion in Bengaluru, though, was designed for Indian businessman Vijay Mallya and is entirely separate from the apartments below.The apartment block, known as Kingfisher Towers, was built on a 4.5-acre plot of land that once housed Mallya's ancestral home.<h2>Vijay Mallya might never get to live in the mansion</h2>There's a real possibility that Mallya won't ever get to live in the sky mansion.Mallya was known as the "<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ft.com/content/e14a6d5c-4c94-47fc-9635-a089841357f3">king of good times"</a> for his opulent lifestyle, according to The Financial Times, but in March 2016, he fled India after defaulting on debts of more than $1 billion and faced fraud charges.

The former boss of the Kingfisher Airlines has 14 days to make an appeal against the judgement. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has released a statement following the order: “We hope to bring him soon and conclude the case. CBI has its own inherent strengths. We worked hard on this case. We are strong on law and facts and we were confident while pursuing extradition process.” The judgement was passed by the Chief Magistrate, Judge Emma Arbuthnot who stated that prima facie (on first impression) there is a case to be made against Mallya for fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. In recent weeks, Mallya has ‘offered’ to pay back what he owes to Indian banks. The allegations against fraud and money laundering amount to an estimated ₹90 billion. He maintains that these charges against him are ‘politically motivated’ and that he has done nothing wrong. According to the <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/mallya-extradition-case-arthur-road-jail-keeps-high-security-cell-ready/articleshow/67023180.cms">Economic Times</a>, there is a ‘high-security’ cell kept ready at the Arthur Road prison for Mallya. The same prison housed the 26/11 Mumbai attack terrorist, Mohammad Ajmal Kasab.

Indian liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya to be extradited — CBI ‘hopes to see him soon’

India’s banks can breathe a sigh of relief. On May 8th, a UK court upheld a decision by the <keyword id="6511712" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="karnataka-debt-recovery-tribunal">Karnataka Debt Recovery Tribunal</keyword> regarding <keyword id="6360137" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="kingfisher">Kingfisher</keyword> tycoon <keyword id="14678" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vijay-Mallya">Vijay Mallya</keyword>’s outstanding dues and maintained a worldwide freeze on his assets. The freeze will prevent Mallya from selling any assets in the England and Wales. Mallya is wanted in India for suspected fraud and money laundering. As a result, a consortium of 13 Indian banks - which includes the state-owned <keyword id="6354731" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="state-bank-of-india">State Bank of India</keyword>, IDBI Bank and Punjab National Bank - who extended loans to Mallya’s now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines will be able to to collect $1.55 billion worth of claims against his assets in the UK. The prosecution, which was representing the banks, successfully argued that Mallya “willfully defaulted” on the loans in spite of his considerable financial resources. The case reportedly marked the first time a ruling by an Indian tribunal had been registered in a UK court. Most importantly, it sets a precedent wherein a worldwide freeze can be imposed on a <keyword id="2168141" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wilful-defaulter">wilful defaulter</keyword>’s assets. The ruling will also give the Indian government’s extradition proceedings against Mallya, which are expected to conclude in July 2018, a much-needed boost. To add insult the injury, the UK court has also barred Mallya’s legal team from appealing the ruling. If they wish to seek recourse, they will have no option but to directly petition the UK’s Court of Appeals. Mallya was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/business/vijay-mallya-extradition.html">arrested in April 2017 </a>on an extradition warrant over charges of defrauding his Indian creditors of $1.4 billion in loans. Currently out on bail, he has been absconding in England since March 2016 and refuses to come back to India over fears of an unfair trial. He has several cases pending against him in India over money laundering, tax evasion and credit defaults.

He has defaulted on nearly ₹90 billion worth of loans made to his now-defunct <keyword id="6373962" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="kingfisher-airlines">Kingfisher Airlines</keyword>. The case was sent to the UK Home Office In December 2018 after the Westminster Magistrates’ Court ruled that liquor baron Vijay Mallya <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/the-extradition-of-vijay-mallya-the-indian-government-has-secured-a-key-victory-but-a-lot-more-work-remains/articleshow/67041778.cms">could be extradited to India</a> in order to answer for his alleged crimes. It took the full two months it had to make a decision. Javid’s verdict is an important victory for India. In addition to the severity of Mallya’s financial crimes, it was asked to guarantee that he would be subjected to a fair trial and humane living conditions while in jail. Mallya now has 14 days to appeal the ruling. For his part, he has vehemently denied reports that he fled India to prevent imprisonment and even said that he had made offers to pay back his loans. He took to Twitter shortly after the UK’s Home Office announced his decision.

 Given that Mallya now has the all-clear to appeal his extradition, it could be still be a few months before his extradition takes place. However, the Modi administration will likely do its best to secure his return before general elections in May, which will give it an important symbolic victory and bolster its anti-corruption stance. Separately, a special court set up under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act is expected to take a decision this week on a plea filed by a consortium of lenders led by the State Bank of India on whether ₹125 billion worth of confiscated assets belonging to Mallya can be liquidated at the earliest.

Mallya is suspected to have misled the executives of several Indian banks, including the government-owned State Bank of India, about the financial struggles of the airline and diverted a lot of those funds to his other ventures. After waiting since February 2017, when it made a formal request to the UK for Mallya’s <keyword id="82903" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="extradition">extradition</keyword>, India’s government was obviously <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/centre-deeply-satisfied-with-uk-courts-verdict-on-vijay-mallya-1960750">happy</a> with the verdict. However, a lot more work and judicial procedures remain to bring Mallya back to India and subsequently pay for his crimes. Following the decision by the Westminster Magistrate, the case has now been referred to the UK’s home secretary, who will rule on whether or not he should be extradited. A decision is expected within two months. Meanwhile, Mallya has two weeks to lodge an appeal in the UK High Court against the lower court’s recommendation to extradite him as well as the home secretary’s decision, as and when it's made. If the appeal, which will only be heard if the home secretary allows it, is rejected, Mallya can then seek recourse in the UK Supreme Court within two weeks of the high court’s verdict. The entire process is expected to take months on end, if not years, given the number of judicial procedures and legal steps involved. Also, given that so much of this is dependent on the discretion of the home secretary, the Indian government will need to consistently make its case for extradition to the UK government. In addition to the severity of his financial crimes, it will have to prove repeatedly that Mallya will be subjected to a fair trial and humane living conditions while in jail. Meanwhile, India’s investigative and law enforcement agencies, primarily the <keyword id="6357808" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="enforcement-directorate">Enforcement Directorate</keyword> (ED), will get to work on having Mallya declared a “fugitive economic offender.” The designation will allow them to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/liquor-baron-vijay-mallya-will-be-the-first-to-be-tried-under-indias-new-fugitive-economic-offenders-ordinance/articleshow/64635569.cms">seize his assets</a>, both domestic and international. Last week, India’s Supreme Court <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Industry/UU8sXq3IsKGTpA4TS6DmjJ/Supreme-Court-refuses-to-stay-ED-proceedings-against-Vijay-M.html">dismissed a plea</a> by Mallya seeking a suspension on proceedings against him by the ED. In addition to securing the “fugitive economic offender” label for Mallya from a special anti-corruption court, the agency is also looking to confiscate ₹125 billion worth of his assets.

He, however, said that he does want to settle his accounts with banks.
