Bombay High Court Extends Naresh Goyal's Bail

The Bombay High Court has extended the interim bail of Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal for two months, allowing him to continue receiving medical treatment for cancer and depression. This marks the second extension of his bail, which was originally granted on May 6, 2023, after Goyal's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly laundering Rs 538.62 crore. His counsel argued that Goyal's health conditions necessitate ongoing treatment, despite opposition from the ED, which contended that he could receive care without bail. Goyal's wife, Anita Goyal, who was also implicated in the case, passed away shortly after his initial bail was granted. The court's decision reflects a balance between Goyal's medical needs and the legal proceedings against him, which continue amid serious allegations of financial misconduct.
