The Center also told the superior court that it was not a party to the process.
A court of the UU Judges Lalit and Ashok Bhushan asked Mallya’s lawyer to inform the court what kinds of “secret” procedures are being carried out to extradite him.
Lawyer Ankur Saigal, who appears on Mallya’s behalf, told the high court that he did not know what kind of proceedings were taking place.
He said: “I am aware that my extradition request has been rejected.”
The court also ordered Mallya’s lawyers to inform it before November 2 when the fugitive businessman can appear in court and when the “secret” proceedings will end.
Attorney Rajat Nair, who appeared at the Center, told the court that the extradition request had been made according to the court’s instructions.

“The extradition proceedings have been upheld by the UK’s highest court, but so far it has not happened,” he said.
The superior court had ordered Mallya to appear before it on October 5 as it dismissed his guilty plea seeking a review of the 2017 verdict that found him guilty of contempt for transferring $ 40 million to his children in violations of court orders.
Mallya, charged in a bank loan default case of more than 9 billion rupees involving his defunct Kingfisher Airlines, is in the UK.

The 2017 high court order came in the wake of a guilty plea by a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI), which had said Mallya had allegedly transferred $ 40 million received from the British firm Diageo, their children in “flagrant violation” various court orders.
These were petitions from lending banks seeking contempt action and an order for Mallya to deposit $ 40 million received from the offshore firm Diageo, respectively.
The banks subsequently alleged that Mallya concealed the facts and diverted the money to her son Siddharth Mallya and her daughters Leanna Mallya and Tanya Mallya in “flagrant violation” of the orders issued by the Karnataka High Court.
In May, Mallya lost her request for authorization to appeal her extradition to India to the UK High Court, setting a 28-day clock for her removal from the UK.
The UK high court decision marks a major legal setback for the flamboyant 64-year-old businessman, who had previously lost his appeal to the high court against an extradition order to India on charges of alleged loan fraud and money laundering. not recovered to its now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines.
Mallya has been based in the UK since March 2016 and remains free on bail for an extradition order executed three years ago by Scotland Yard on April 18, 2017.
