Vijay Mallya has applied to Home Secretary Priti Patel for "another route" to be able to stay in the UK, the liquor tycoon's barrister representing him in bankruptcy proceedings in the High Court of London confirmed during a remote hearing on Friday.

The UK Home Office has so far only confirmed on background that a confidential legal process remains ongoing before the extradition order can be executed.
