Naresh Goyal's Plea Against 'Illegal' Arrest Not Maintainable: High Court

The Jet Airways Founder claimed he was illegally arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to a bank loan default.

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday rejected the petition filed by Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal challenging his "illegal" arrest in a money laundering case linked to bank loan default, noting that the plea was not maintainable.

A division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Gauri Godse said the petition cannot be entertained and hence stands dismissed.

The court said it was open for Mr Goyal to avail of other statutory remedies under law.
