Apex court to hear plea against Naresh Goyal

New Delhi: A Delhi-based journalist has approached the Supreme Court challenging the order of the Bombay High Court giving a clean chit to Naresh Goyal of Jet Airways on his alleged links with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim after the central government denied the allegations.
The petition would be heard on Friday as Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan refused to postpone it till Diwali, Nov 9.
When Advocate Ankur Gupta prayed for adjournment as Senior Advocate Harish Salve representing Jet Airways was not in India, the court said it was not the ground to postpone a case.
The high court recently dismissed the petition after the union home ministry and intelligence agencies, including RAW, gave a clean chit to Goyal on the question of alleged funding by the underworld don.
The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed by M Furqan, editor of an Urdu daily, based on an alleged Intelligence Bureau report saying Goyal had close links with Dawood and had even received funds from him.
