UK Declines India's Request to Deport Vijay Mallya

Indian government's efforts to get Vijay Mallya back in the country took a hit after United Kingdom declined its request to deport the beleaguered businessman. Though UK has assured that it is keen to assist India in tightening the noose around Mallya.
"The UK Government has informed us that under the 1971 Immigration Act, the UK does not require an individual to hold a valid passport in order to remain in the UK if they have extant leave to remain as long as their passport was valid when leave to remain or enter the UK was conferred. At the same time the UK acknowledges the seriousness of the allegations and is keen to assist Government of India. They have asked GoI to consider requesting mutual legal assistance or extradition," the Ministry of External Affairs said.

So what is the status of Barbados Tridents in the CPL  :

Is he still the OWNER  ?

Why is England seeming to shield Vijay Mallya?I would love to know the true reason behind this stance of the English when at the same time they are at the forefront of seeking to extradite and prosecute persons who are alleged to be involved in corruption pertaining to FIFA scandal. Is it because Mr. Mallaya is wealthy? Something isn't adding up here. 

I believe the answer has been given in the lead post.

For a person to be deported it does usually take extreme circumstances so for the UK government to deny the request might seem strange, if laws are put in place to say who they can and can't deport, then ignoring them this time could open up a can of worms in the future.
