The case was filed against the Immigration Minister of the Caribbean nation, its police chief and the investigating officer of the case.
 
Choksi pleaded that the decision to charge him for illegal entry violated the law and, accordingly, was null and void.
 
He has been kept at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital while awaiting an outcome in his illegal entry case.
 
Choksi's lawyer has alleged that their client was kidnapped and forcibly taken to Dominica.
 
He is wanted in India by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate.
