The Enforcement Directorate (ED) refuted claims of harassment during its March raids on TASMAC, asserting the process was conducted properly with TASMAC staff’s cooperation. The Madras High Court heard arguments, with the case stemming from alleged money laundering linked to FIRs dating back to 2017. Further hearings are scheduled for Monday.
The Supreme Court ruled that the existence of a disputed question of fact does not bar the High Court’s jurisdiction under Article 226. If the State raises disputes merely to justify rejecting a writ petition, the court must dismiss such objections. The ruling reinforces the High Court’s power to intervene in cases of constitutional rights violations. This ensures that legal remedies are not denied on technical grounds.
