Chagla and Farhan P. Dubash, JJ., noted that the Bank did not provide an opportunity to Naresh Goyal to represent thereby violating the rule of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">audi alteram partem<\/span>, and consequently, quashed the impugned notice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Two Show Cause Notices were issued to the founder of Jet Airways, Naresh Goyal. The first Show Cause Notice, dated 30-12-2024, was issued without providing himthe report of the forensic audit conducted by the Bank. This was later provided by the impugned notice dated 01-07-2025. It was submitted that Naresh Goyal was not granted an opportunity of a representation before the classification of his account as &#8216;fraud&#8217;. He was aggrieved by his account being classified as &#8216;fraud&#8217; for which he was not even served any order by the Bank making it evident that the classification of his account was without any justification or reasons. He prayed for the notice to be set aside and not to be proceeded with and further that all consequent actions and proceedings emanating therefrom to be declared as illegal, arbitrary, contrary to the fundamental principles of natural justice, and bad in law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court referred to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">SBI v.

The lender banks were to provide an opportunity to the borrower to explain the findings in the forensic audit report, and to make a representation, before the account was classified as fraud.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the impugned notice proceeded on the premise of re-examination by the Bank, of Naresh Goyal&#8217;s account which had been earlier classified as &#8216;fraud&#8217; and the Court observed that mere re-examination of the earlier classification of his account did not meet with the rule of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">audi alteram partem<\/span> as per the law laid down by the Supreme Court in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Rajesh Agarwal<\/span> (supra).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Consequently, the Court quashed and set aside the order classifying Naresh Goyal&#8217;s account as &#8216;fraud&#8217; and the impugned notice which sought re-examination of his account was also set aside. The Court clarified that the Bank would be at liberty to issue a fresh Show Cause Notice but by any Committee of the Bank other than the one that had issued the impugned notice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court directed that the Bank must comply with the principles of natural justice and the rule of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">audi alteram partem<\/span> in carrying out the exercise pursuant to the issuance of fresh Show Cause Notice, in the event they so desired, for the purpose of determining whether Naresh Goyal&#8217;s account should be classified as &#8216;fraud&#8217;. The Court also ordered the Bank not to take any action pursuant to the earlier classification of his account and the impugned notice, which had already been set aside by this order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Naresh Jagdishrai Goyal v.
