The team led by CBI DIG Sharda Raut was stationed in Dominica for nearly seven days to bring back Choksi, who is wanted in the ₹13,500-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam, to India. On Thursday, the Dominica High Court adjourned the hearing on Choksi's habeas corpus petition. Judge Bernie Stephenson will decide the next date of hearing after meeting both sides, media outlet Antigua News Room said. The judge had on Wednesday ordered production of Choksi before the magistrate to face charges of illegal entry into Dominica. The allegedly corrupt bank officials did not enter these LoUs in the core banking software of PNB, thus evading scrutiny.
