The remark was made by a division bench of justices S C  Dharmadhikari and B P Colabawala while hearing an appeal filed by the  Service Tax department and also another petition filed by the department  seeking to recall the auction sale of Mallya’s private aircraft. 
“Does anyone know why he (Mallya)  came up with the name ‘’Kingfisher’’ for his entity? In history no one  could have come up with a more apt name for this entity.

The court admitted the appeal filed by the Service Tax department  which challenged an order passed by the Debt Recovery Tribunal in 2014,  and posted it for hearing at a later stage.
