Jet Airways feigns ignorance about HC directives

Private carrier Jet Airways has feigned ignorance about the Bombay High Court's directives to the Mumbai Police Coimmisoner to investigate into the airline's alleged connection with the underworld.
Earlier in the day, a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court, comprising Chief Justice Swatantra Kumar and Justice S C Dharamadhikari, while acting on a public interest litigation filed by one Mohd Furqan, had passed the directives to the Mumbai Police to investigate into the charges and file the report within four weeks. Mr Furqan in his petition, through Advocate K T Thomas, had alleged that the Chairman of the private airline, Mr Naresh Goyal, was in cahoot with the underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and his trusted lieutenant Chhota Shakeel.
The petitioner also cited the reference of a letter written by the Intelligence Bureau to the Union Home Ministry on December 12, 2001, in which the agency had stated, "Our enquiries have established that Naresh Goyal and his Jet Airways have been steady recepients of large dubious investments originating from one Gulf Sheikh."
