Let D ba an infinite division algebra of finite dimension over its centre Z(D) = F and n be a positive integer. The structure of maximal subgroups of skew linear groups are investigated. In particular, assume that N is a normal subgroup of GLn(D) and M is a maximal subgroup of N containing Z(N) . It is shown that if M/Z(N) is finite, then N is central.
