The Madras High Court urged Tamil Nadu to collaborate with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding alleged financial irregularities involving TASMAC. The Advocate General opposed cooperation, criticizing the ED’s unannounced raids. The Court emphasized the need to avoid personal pride while questioning the ED’s motives, especially ahead of upcoming Tamil Nadu elections.
