The Supreme Court on Friday sought the Enforcement Directorate's response on beleaguered industrialist Vijay Mallya's plea challenging the proceedings before a Mumbai court seeking to declare him a fugitive economic offender and attach his assets.

Issuing notice to the ED and the Maharashtra government, a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, however, did not put on hold the proceedings before the Mumbai Special court against Mallya under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act.
