New Delhi, Apr 23 (UNI) In a dramatic turn during the ongoing money laundering case tied to the 2011 cash-for-jobs scam, the Supreme Court on Wednesday issued Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji an ultimatum, either continue as a minister or retain the bail granted to him.
A special bench, comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih, resumed hearing the Enforcement Directorate’s challenge to Balaji’s bail, which was granted in September 2024.
At the time of the bail order, the Court had taken into account that Balaji was no longer a minister, a factor central to its Article 21 analysis regarding prolonged incarceration.
