The Supreme Court has relaxed V. Senthil Balaji’s strict bail condition, saying he must now appear only when officially summoned. The court noted his flawless compliance for 1.5 years and called the previous requirement unnecessarily burdensome.
V Senthil Balaji, Tamil Nadu Minister, resigned from the Cabinet after a Supreme Court warning regarding his ongoing money laundering case. His arrest by the Enforcement Directorate related to a cash-for-jobs scam forced him to choose between his political role and freedom. His resignation highlights significant legal and political challenges in Tamil Nadu.
Today, On 9th April, DMK leader and Tamil Nadu minister V. Senthil Balaji told the Supreme Court that becoming a minister did not break any bail rules in his money laundering case. He said it is his right to hold a political post under Article 21 of the Constitution. Balaji also questioned why his bail was being challenged. He said the move seemed politically motivated.
