Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal has moved the Bombay High Court seeking bail in a money laundering case on the ground that both he and his wife were suffering from terminal cancer. A single bench of Justice N J Jamadar on Tuesday said it would hear the plea on May 3.
In his plea, Goyal said the medical conditions of his wife and himself have taken a toll on his mental health and as per a psychological report, he is suffering from major depression. “As per the report, Goyal is severely depressed and expresses a dread of the future, has suicidal ideation and a sense of hopeless resignation,” the petition said. In the present condition, not permitting Goyal to be with his wife was a gross violation of the basic human rights, the plea said.
