Diamantaire Mehul Choksi has been issued a proclaimation notice by Magistrate court in Mumbai\u00a0in connection with a cheating case registered against him by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A proclamation notice gives a person around 30 days to come forward and make their statements, failing which they are declared proclaimed offenders, and their assets are seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EOW had registered a cheating case against Choksi in 2019 after a Mumbai-based company, Laxmi Infra Developers Ltd, filed a complaint with the Mumbai police. The company alleged that Choksi sold his real estate project to them 15 days before he fled the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project was then attached as Mehul Choksi’s property obtained from illegitimate means by the investigators of the PNB scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EOW had filed the application for the proclamation notice in October 2021 at the Esplanade Magistrate court. Later, the court had issued a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against Choksi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process of issuing the proclamation notice began when Choksi, who was suspected to be living in Antigua, did not come forward despite the Non-Bailable Warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from the Mumbai police, the CBI had also sought to declare Mehul Choksi a proclaimed offender in October 2019. However, the plea is still pending a hearing in a special court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
