Anita's demise comes weeks after the court granted the couple a two-month-long interim bail in a money laundering case on medical grounds.
Naresh Goyal, the founder of Jet Airways, has been granted interim bail for two months by the Bombay High Court due to medical reasons. The court's decision comes after Goyal's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
Citing an audit report, the ED has claimed that the loans availed by Jet Airways (India) Limited (JIL) were used for purchasing immovable assets such as furniture, apparel and jewellery.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Naresh Goyal on September 1 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) following a long session of questioning at the central agency's office in Mumbai.

The FIR was registered on the bank's complaint which alleged that it sanctioned credit limits and loans to Jet Airways (India) Ltd (JIL) to the tune of Rs 848.86 crore of which Rs 538.62 crore is outstanding.
The raids were conducted at the residences and offices of Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal, his wife Anita Goyal and former company director Gaurang Anand Shetty.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has objected to the Mumbai Police filing a closure report in a cheating case registered earlier against now-defunct Jet Airways, its promoter Naresh Goyal, and his wife.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday filed a fresh case of money laundering against Naresh Goyal, former chairman of the grounded Jet Airways, and the airlines.
The Naresh Goyal-led Jet Airways, which was the largest private carrier at its time, was grounded on April 17 due to financial troubles. Jet Airways employed around 18,000 people, when the carrier suspended its international and domestic flights.
This is the first time that the central agency is grilling him after it conducted searches against him last year. Goyal's statement has been recorded under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) at the agency's zonal office here, they said.
The agency said probe indicates that Goyal is "likely to be" the beneficial owner of some bank accounts abroad having huge deposits. "Prima facie these transactions involve various violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act," it said. Official sources added that the charge of undisclosed assets held abroad could lead the agency to book Goyal under the stringent and criminal anti-money laundering law in the coming day.
The searches are being carried out under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and are aimed at gathering additional evidence.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked Jet Airways promoter Naresh Goyal to submit Rs 18,000 crore in bank guarantees in order to be allowed to travel abroad.
Citing the reasons for his visit abroad, Goyal's counsel told that court that he needed to explore financial options for the airlines which is facing a serious financial crunch. Senior advocate Maninder Singh said that Goyal was an NRI and a resident of Dubai and hence he needed to go back to the UAE before July 10. Else, his residential rights would be revoked.
When the matter came up for hearing before Justice Vibhu Bakhru, he said that "this matter will have to go before another bench" and directed that it be listed before another judge on July 9. The judge, however, did not give any reasons for recusing from the matter.
Even as the lenders and the employees hope against hope and expect a white knight to rescue the grounded Jet Airways, the airline's promoter Naresh Goyal, now deboarded from the pilot seat, knew weeks back that it was time to abandon the sinking ship.
