Cash For Jobs Scam: Session Court Of Chennai Seeks ED’s Response In Senthil Balaji’s Bail Plea

A sessions court of Chennai on Monday has issued notice to the ED on a bail petition filed by DMK Minister V Senthil Balaji, who was arrested by the agency in connection with a money laundering case.

Principal Sessions Judge S Alli, who issued the notice to the ED, posted further hearing of the case to September 15. When the bail petition came up for hearing, advocate N Ramesh, appearing for ED, sought time to file a counter affidavit.

Advocate DR Arun Kumar, appearing for Senthil Balaji requested the court to fix a short date for the next hearing.

Furthermore, after the Special Court for the trial of cases relating to MPs and MLAs of Tamil Nadu and the PSJ refused to hear the bail petition of Senthil Balaji for want of jurisdiction, he then moved to the Madras High Court, which held on September 4 that the bail petition filed by the minister had to be heard and disposed only by the PSJ.

Therefore, he filed the present bail petition before the PSJ.

Previously on June 14, Senthil Balaji got arrested by the ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to Cash-for-jobs scam when he was the transport minister during the previous AIADMK regime and currently he is in judicial custody.
