New Delhi: Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya on Saturday moved the Supreme Court seeking a stay on the confiscation of properties owned by him and his relatives.

In his plea Mallya has said that he wanted attachment of only those properties related to Kingfisher Airlines facing cases of alleged irregularities.

The matter is listed for hearing on July 29 before the apex court.

A consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI) had in 2016 filed a petition in the Supreme Court against Mallya for his failure to repay the loan amount of more than Rs 8000 crore to various banks.

Mallya had allegedly failed to pay dues to more than 15 banks.

The liquor tycoon had taken loans in order to pay dues of his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines.

The consortium of banks had urged the court to direct Mallya to return to India and repay the loan.

On July 11, the Bombay High Court had dismissed Mallya's plea seeking stay on the procedure for the confiscation of his properties by government agencies.

Mallya had fled India in March 2016 and has been living in the United Kingdom since then.

DMA seeks more representation of elected members in NMC
         New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) The Delhi Medical Association on Saturday expressed reservations over the National Medical Commission Bill, and urged that elected members should be given "more representation" in the proposed NMC.
          The DMA, in an executive meeting held here, discussed and deliberated upon the bill, which was introduced in Lok Sabha on July 22 by Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Harsh Vardhan.
          Those present in the meeting felt that the NMC "consisted of nominated members mainly rather than elected members," the DMA said in a statement.
          The Delhi Medical Association demands "more representation" be given to the elected representatives of the medical fraternity, it said.
          "The provision of giving licences to persons related to the field of modern medicines and allowing them to practice as community health workers under certain circumstances and places will lead to creation of a new force of quacks which will be difficult to control," the association said.
          Doctors and medical students across the country have been opposing the bill.
          The bill provides for setting up of a National Medical Commission (NMC) in place of the Medical Council of India (MCI) and repeal of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. PTI KND
