Vijay Mallya wanted in India on charges of law-breaking and money laundering allegedly amounting to around Rs 9,000 crore, will return to court here on Thursday for a hearing related to his extradition trial.The 62-year-old Mallya will be back in the enclosure at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London for what is expected to be one of the final hearings in the case to determine the "Acceptability" of some of the evidence presented by the Indian government.

Judge Emma Arbuthnot will rule on the information, following which she is expected to set a timetable for closing arguments and her verdict on whether the UK-based businessperson can be delivered to India to face the law-breaking and money laundering assert involving his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines.Mallya's defence team, led by barrister Clare Montgomery, has called into question much of the material submitted by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) arguing on behalf of the Indian authorities, as questionable and claimed there are at least a dozen documents submitted which read like an identical "template".The judge had directed both sides to submit their arguments for and against the admissibility of the material, which will be taken up this week.
