The Story in Brief
A special PMLA court in Mumbai has granted Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal a final exemption from personal appearance in the Enforcement Directorate’s money laundering case and adjourned the hearing on charges to August 10. Goyal’s lawyer told the court that a discharge application would be filed. The court said the case dates back to 2023 and directed Goyal to appear at the next hearing without fail.
The ED arrested Goyal, 76, in September 2023 in connection with the Rs 538.6-crore case. He is currently out on bail. The court’s order does not decide whether charges will be framed or whether Goyal will be discharged.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that the case has already proved guilt are premature, just as claims that Goyal’s bail ends the matter are wrong. The court still has to hear the charges, while the defence has yet to file the proposed discharge application after three years. The useful test is simple: whether the court accepts that application and what happens at the August 10 hearing.
