Mumbai High Court dismisses Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal's plea challenging arrest in money laundering case. Court says he can avail other statutory remedy like bail plea. ED says plea was false, frivolous, vexatious and filed with ulterior motive.
The Bombay High Court on November 7 dismissed a petition filed by Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal challenging his "illegal" arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to bank loan default.
A division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Gauri Godse said the petition cannot be entertained and hence is dismissed.
The court said it was open for Mr. Goyal to avail other statutory remedy like bail plea.
Mr. Goyal had filed a habeas corpus (produce the person) petition in which he claimed he was illegally arrested by the ED in the case.
In his plea, Mr. Goyal claimed his arrest was illegal as it was done without following provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
He also challenged orders of a special court which had first remanded him in the ED's custody and thereafter in judicial custody.
The ED opposed the plea and said the arrest was done after following the due process of law.
