This led to the present plea before the High Court.
As per the plea, limiting his bail to stay in hospital would mean that he will not be able to meet his wife who was critically ill.
“Goyal is the primary caregiver to his wife and she should be accompanied by her husband for further treatment and decision making of the treatment”, the application filed through law firm Naik Naik & Co said.
“While they both battle life threatening conditions, they must be permitted to provide each other succor as the other’s primary care giver. The right to life under Article 21 of the constitution cannot be curtailed or suspended merely for a person is accused of an economic offence”, the petition stated.
Goyal also highlighted exploring alternative treatment for himself.
“This he cannot explore sitting in the hospital. During and after chemotherapy, he will require clean sterile environment and he cannot be sent back to jail,” the petition emphasized.
