New Delhi : The Delhi High Court on Thursday withdrew the interim protection from arrest and other coercive action it had granted to Gitanjali Gems promoter Mehul Choksi in April last year in connection with a 2016 FIR lodged by the owner of one of its retail franchisees.
The order by Justice Mukta Gupta came after the police told the court that Choksi was not cooperating with the investigation as he was not available at any of the addresses given on his behalf earlier.
Taking note of the submission made by Delhi Police, the court vacated its April 26, 2017 order by which the businessman was protected from any coercive action, including arrest, and which was extended till on Thursday.
