The Supreme Court has stayed proceedings against Tamil Nadu Minister I Periyasamy and his family in a Rs 2.1 crore disproportionate assets case. The top court also issued a notice, pausing the trial ordered by the Madras High Court.
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.
