Ripudaman Singh Malik has lost a bid to reclaim money he was forced to pay the BC government for his defence at the Air India trial.
The man acquitted of plotting Canada’s worst act of terrorism claimed a loan agreement he made was signed under duress.
The BC Court of Appeal has upheld a February ruling, ordering him to return 6.3-million dollars.
The loan, including interest, was repaid after a yaletown building owned by Malik was sold for more than 14-million dollars.
He’s still facing civil action for fraud.
Malik is accused of transferring assets to his family.
