The court, which had summoned Mallya as accused today, fixed the matter for the next date after it was told by the counsel appearing for the businessman that its summoning order had been challenged before the High Court.


 


The trial court had summoned Mallya as accused following a complaint by DIAL, which operates the capital's IGI Airport, claiming that a cheque for Rs one crore issued by Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) on February 22, 2012 was returned to them a month later containing remarks "fund insufficient".


DIAL has filed four cases in June 2012 against Mallya over KFA's cheques totalling Rs 7.5 crore not being honoured.


The grounded airline had issued the cheques towards payment for services availed by them at the IGI airport here.
