Kolkata headquartered United Bank of India (UBI) had filed a caveat in the Supreme Court against Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) shortly after Calcutta High Court division bench delivered its judgement.
The division bench of the High Court dismissed a KFA appeal against UBI and upheld decision of single judge of not allowing the company to be represented by a lawyer.
Mallya and Kingfisher's board can be represented by the company's law officers or company secretary for the hearing before the state-run bank.
UBI has filed a caveat against KFA in SC shortly after Calcutta HC delivered its judgement, said executive director of UBI D Narang to news agency PTI.
The order said that either KFA chairman Vijay Mallya could appear or send a company representative for the hearing in front of the bank's grievance redressal panel.
Earlier, UBI had identified Vijay Mallya as a willful defaulter and asked him to appear before the bank's panel to hear him out before declaring him as a willful defaulter. According to UBI, the airline owes it about Rs 350 crore.

#IDBI’ Rs.950 crore loan to #Kingfisher Airlines under #CBI scanner
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a preliminary inquiry to inquire into the role of IDBI and Kingfisher Airlines. IDBI Bank had sanctioned Rs.950 crore to Kingfisher Airlines at a time when Kingfisher had a negative net worth and negative credit rating.

Taking cognizance of this issue Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday has registered a preliminary enquiry against IDBI Bank Ltd and Kingfisher Airlines Ltd,to find out the real motive behind IDBI Bank’s decision to lend Rs.950 crore to Kingfisher Airlines.

Kingfisher Airlines owes Rs.7,500 crore to a consortium of banks led by State Bank of India. In February 2013, bankers publicly stated they lost faith in the management’s ability to revive the company. Banks that had then initiated recovery measures, have been able to recover Rs.550 crore by selling the equity they held in the troubled airline.
Last week, CBI arrested Sudhir Kumar Jain, the chairman of state-run Syndicate Bank Ltd over allegations that he was seeking bribes to favour debtors.
As of March 2014, gross NPA for the 40 listed banks was Rs.2.42 trillion, up 34.41% from Rs.1.8 trillion a year ago.
