Fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi on Friday got temporary relief after a court in Dominica ordered the Attorney general of the Commonwealth of Dominica and the chief of police to not remove him from the country. He has also been allowed full legal assistance. According to reports, the matter will be heard once again on Friday at 9 am local time.
