The Madras High Court on Monday decided to hear on July 7 a batch of writ petitions challenging the continuation of Minister without portfolio V. Senthilbalaji in the Cabinet despite him having been arrested by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in a money laundering case on June 14 and continuing to remain in judicial custody till date.
Chief Justice S.V. Gangapurwala and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu adjourned the hearing after finding that only two writ petitions -one by advocate M.L. Ravi of Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi and another by lawyer S. Ramachandran - had been listed and a third case by former AIADMK MP J. Jayavardhan had not been listed.
