Days after diamantaire Mehul Choksi was arrested in Belgium, the CBI approached a court here seeking a Non-Bailable Warrant against him in another case where he and others are accused of cheating a Canara Bank-led consortium of Rs 55.27 crore.
Choksi, a prime accused in the alleged multi-million dollar Punjab National Bank fraud, was arrested in Belgium on April 12 following an extradition request by Indian probe agencies.  The Central Bureau of Investigation, probing the Canara bank cheating  case, approached the special CBI court here on Wednesday seeking an NBW against him.
However, judge V P Desai sent the matter to a magistrate's court, saying his court had no jurisdiction.
The judge cited a Supreme Court judgement which states that for a special CBI court to try a case under the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, there must be alleged involvement of a public servant.  In the present case, the charge sheet was filed only against private persons for offences under Indian Penal .
