Kapil Wadhawan: Interpretation of Remand Date for Default Bail under Section 167(2) CrPC Mehul Choksi Sues Indian Government in London Over Alleged Abduction From Antigua KASHISH JAHAN 19 June 2025 Fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi has filed a civil lawsuit against the Indian government in London, alleging abduction from Antigua and Barbuda. This international legal dispute could set a precedent in transnational law and extradition protocols. International Legal Battle Over Alleged Abduction Fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi, a key accused in the Punjab National Bank fraud case, has initiated a civil suit in the High Court of London. Choksi alleges that in May 2021, he was forcibly abducted from Antigua and Barbuda by individuals acting on behalf of the Indian government. He claims he was assaulted, detained unlawfully, and denied due process in an effort to bypass extradition procedures. Allegations of State-Sponsored Kidnapping According to Choksi’s legal team, the actions constitute state-sponsored transnational kidnapping, raising serious questions about state immunity and international legal norms. The case underscores the complex intersection of domestic criminal law, international human rights, and diplomatic conduct. Challenges for India’s Extradition Efforts This lawsuit presents a major hurdle in India’s extradition strategy as it tries to bring back economic fugitives from overseas. The Indian government has firmly denied any role in the alleged abduction, asserting that it is pursuing Choksi’s return through legal and diplomatic channels. However, the case could lead to broader scrutiny of the tactics used by states to repatriate high-profile fugitives. Potential Impact on International Law If the London court proceeds with the case, it may become a landmark in international law. The judicial review of alleged state actions conducted abroad could influence future rulings involving transnational crime and sovereignty. It raises critical questions about balancing national interests with adherence to global legal standards. Conclusion: A Precedent in the Making? Mehul Choksi’s legal challenge adds a new layer of complexity to his ongoing legal troubles. With significant implications for diplomatic conduct and international justice, this high-profile case is set to be closely monitored by legal experts, scholars, and global policymakers alike.
