The Bombay High Court on Monday granted medical bail to Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal, who is an accused in a money laundering case. In May this year, a single bench of Justice N J Jamadar granted interim bail to Goyal on medical grounds. Justice Jamadar on Monday made the interim order permanent. Goyal (75) is suffering from cancer and had sought bail to undergo treatment. 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
Jet Airways on Thursday said there will be a delay in declaring the financial results for the quarter and year ended March 2024, and its monitoring committee expected to meet shortly to consider the results. "We wish to state that currently the approved resolution plan is at the implementation stage and every effort is being ensured to comply with the necessary provisions of SEBI LODR Regulations, as such a meeting of the monitoring committee will be convened at the earliest to consider and adopt the aforesaid financial results," the airline said in a regulatory filing. Jet Airways, which stopped flying in April 2019 due to financial crunch, is undergoing an insolvency resolution process. The resolution plan submitted by the consortium of Murari Lal Jalan and Florian Fritsch was approved by the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in June 2021. Subsequently, the monitoring committee was set up to oversee the implementation of the approved plan. The plan is yet t
Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal, an accused in a money laundering case, has moved a plea before a special court here seeking interim bail for treatment of malignancy, which was revealed during tests conducted by private doctors. The court passed an initial order for setting up a medical board to examine Goyal's medical reports as ED sought time to respond to his interim bail plea. Last month, special judge for cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) M G Deshpande had allowed Goyal (74) to undergo medical tests by private doctors. In the plea moved on Thursday for interim bail, Jet Airways founder Goyal said malignancy was revealed during the tests undertaken by the private doctors. As per his medical records, Goyal has small tumours in his intestine (common location for small tumours), called 'Neuro Endocrine Tumours' (slow growing cancer). He also has a hiatus hernia of about 35 cm to 40 cm with severe reflux oesophagitis, which is a medical condition that occu
Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal's "resistance" in diluting his stakes and "incessant siphoning off of funds for personal pecuniary gains" led to the downfall of the airline, the Enforcement Directorate said in its chargesheet filed before a court here in the alleged fraud of Rs 538 crore at the Canara Bank. The ED claimed that the airline could have survived had Goyal kept aside his "ulterior motive" and allowed professionals to make quick and strategic decisions to change the operating cash flow of the company. It alleged that Goyal blatantly siphoned off funds from the loss-making Jet Airways (India) Limited (JIL), drained it out of funds and kept on infusing money into the related entities owned by his family members, both in India and abroad. The probe agency on Tuesday filed its chargesheet against Naresh Goyal, his wife Anita Goyal and four companies - JIL, Jetair Private Limited, Jet Enterprises Private Limited and Jet Airways LLC, Dubai - in connection with the case.
