A special court has permitted Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal - an accused in the alleged fraud of Rs 538 crore on Canara Bank - to meet his ailing wife on January 13 on humanitarian grounds. He has also been allowed to consult his private doctors for multiple ailments.

The order came days after Goyal told the court that he had "lost every hope of life" and it would be "better if he died in jail" than living in such a situation. Goyal had submitted that he was very badly missing his wife who is in the last stage of cancer.

Special Judge M G Deshpande on Tuesday permitted Goyal to meet his wife at their Mumbai residence on January 13 and also allowed him to consult his private doctors for his multiple ailments.
