The Bombay High Court on Friday has given extension by four weeks to Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal in a temporary bail that was granted to him in May.
Mr. Goyal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on September 1, 2023 in a money-laundering case. The ED charges alleged that Mr. Goyal had laundered money and siphoned off loans worth ₹538.62 crore given to Jet Airways by Canara Bank.
Mr. Goyal’s bail extension affidavit plea before the single bench judge, Justice N.J. Jamadar stated that his doctor has advised him for urgent Laparoscopic Fundoplication surgery within four weeks after confirming his surgical fitness.
Representing Mr. Goyal, advocates Aabad Ponda and Ameet Naik said that he has filed the bail application on merits and medical grounds as he is battling life-threatening conditions and has recently lost his wife. His health condition, they said, and the loss of his wife has affected him mentally, emotionally and physically that he is experiencing severe depression and suicidal thoughts.
The advocates also contended that the allegations against Mr. Goyal are false and that a narrative was set against him with the intention of maligning his and Jet Airways’ reputation.
The High Court on July 3, directed Mr. Goyal to file a detailed affidavit explaining his medical condition, the treatments and surgeries he is asked to undergo, along with the duration.
Advocate Ponda said, “My client (Mr. Goyal) feels that the same things will happen to him as his wife. He is suffering from anxiety and needs medical assistance to sleep. If a person had 24 cylinders in life, he is on his last cylinder. Doctors have advised him to remain at his comfortable home with his family for at least another six months to cope with his cancer surgery.”
