Court rejects Choksi’s pleas against prosecution as fugitive
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|December 24, 2025
A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on Monday rejected two applications filed by fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi against proceedings initiated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the Fugitive Economic Offenders (FEO) Act.
Choksi had, in one of the applications, argued that following the liquidation of his company Gitanjali Gems Ltd under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and the appointment of an official liquidator by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), only the liquidator was competent to represent the company and that no director or former management could continue to do so. Accordingly, he sought issuance of notices to the official liquidator to represent Gitanjali Gems Ltd in the ongoing FEO proceedings.
