Dominica High Court Rules Against Immediate Removal Of Mehul Choksi

Roseau – Dominica High Court has now ruled against the immediate removal of Mehul Choksi from Dominica. While authorities in Dominica are busy trying to get the Indian fugitive, Mehul Choksi deported from Dominica attorneys, Wayne Nord Julian Provost, and Wayne Benjamin Marsh were filing an application in court to prevent it and they were successful.

As the High Court Judge, Justice Bernie Stevenson ruled that Choksi cannot be immediately removed from Dominica and that he should be granted full access to attorneys. His attorneys now filed a writ of habeas corpus, a method used to bring prisoners or other detainees before the courts to determine if the person’s imprisonment or detention is lawful.

Now, that’s the update that we’re tracking for you right now habeas corpus filed to ensure that the prisoner that is Mehul Choksi is of course, or, or a detainee is, of course, you know, of good health and is available.

Now, what Indian agencies were looking for that has not happened and Mehul Choksi have got an opportunity to get out of the hands of the investigative team of India again, and of course, his attorneys have filed right of habeas corpus, a method used to bring a prisoner back again in front of the judiciary, but after a VA petition proceeds as a civil action against the state agent who was the defendant in the custody.

So, of course, he has gotten an opportunity and as we have already discussed, that Advocate Agrawal was the lawyer of Choksi. He had also mentioned very clearly that the Choksi does not belong to India anymore. So Indian agency or the Indian government has no direct authority to bring him back to India. That is the reason that Dominica now will have to hand over Choksi to the country.

He is a citizen off and of course then after Mehul Choksi will continue to fight in the court, but also here what our sources are telling us is that Indian agencies are now afraid that what if the illegal battle will continue for coming even more days, then, of course, there will be a simple delay in the investigation probe which they want to do in PNB scam.

Of course then after this also the authorities in Dominica when they were busy trying to get Indian fugitive Mehul, deported from Dominica. Attorneys have filed their habeas corpus and after that this decision has come and the court has agreed to accept his application in the court to prevent it.
