The Bombay High Court on Monday granted medical bail to Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal in a money laundering case. In May this year, a single-judge bench of Justice N J Jamadar had earlier granted an interim medical bail to Goyal to undergo cancer treatment.
The interim order is now permanent order after Monday’s order.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had opposed his plea and said he could be admitted to a hospital of his choice and take treatment while in custody.
In May, the HC granted interim bail to Goyal for a period of two months which was later extended by four weeks and then again for two months.
The ED arrested Goyal in September 2023 on allegations that he had laundered money and siphoned off loans to the tune of Rs 538.62 crore given to Jet Airways by the Canara Bank.
His wife Anita Goyal was arrested in November 2023 when the ED submitted its chargesheet in the case.
A special court granted her bail the same day considering her age and medical condition. She died on May 16 this year.
Meanwhile, on November 7, the Supreme Court on Thursday ordered Jet Airways’ liquidation, forfeiture of Rs 200 crore infused by the successful bidder of the airline and permitted the lenders led by SBI to encash Rs 150 crore performance bank guarantee.
