The Supreme Court refused to interfere with the Madras High Court’s order directing a CBI probe into alleged transformer tender irregularities during former Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji’s tenure, dismissing Kasi’s appeal as TANGEDCO withdrew challenges earlier.
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court ruled that candidates for Tamil Nadu government jobs must be able to read and write Tamil. The decision came as the court dismissed a petition by a Tamil Nadu Electricity Board employee who was terminated for not passing the mandatory Tamil language exam. The court emphasized the importance of language proficiency for state government employees.
