This paper aims at studying solvable-by-finite and locally solvable maximal subgroups of an almost subnormal subgroup of the general skew linear group _n(D) over a division ring D. It turns out that in the case where D is non-commutative, if such maximal subgroups exist, then either it is abelian or [D:F]<∞. Also, if F
