HC concludes hearing on habeas corpus petition filed by Senthilbalaji’s wife challenging his arrest by ED

The Madras High Court on Tuesday completed hearing arguments on a habeas corpus petition filed by Minister V. Senthilbalaji’s wife Megala challenging his June 14 arrest by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in a money-laundering case registered in 2021 in connection with the 2014-15 cash for jobs scam in the Transport Department.

Justices J. Nisha Banu and D. Bharatha Chakravarthy heard Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor-General AR.L. Sundaresan for the ED and senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi as well as N.R. Elango for the petitioner for nearly seven hours on Tuesday before asking them to submit their written submissions by Wednesday.
