Liquor baron Vijay Mallya will appear in a London court today for a hearing in his ongoing extradition case over economic offences in India. <br/><br/>The 61-year-old businessman is out on bail on an extradition warrant executed by Scotland Yard on behalf of the Indian authorities in April. <br/><br/>He had been exempt from appearing before Westminster Magistrates' Court for case management hearings by Chief Magistrate Emma Louise Arbuthnot before his trial begins on December 4.<br/><br/>However, his legal team had indicated to the court that Mallya likes to be present at the hearings. He is wanted in India over a default on loans worth around nine thousand crore rupees to his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. <br/><br/>India and the UK have an Extradition Treaty, signed in 1992 and in force since November 1993, under which recently a Bangladeshi national wanted in the UK on murder charges was to be extradited from India.
