The Madras High Court on Friday granted an interim injunction, for four weeks, restraining the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from proceeding with the investigation into a money laundering case registered against Electricity Minister V. Senthil Balaji and his alleged associates on July 29, 2021.
Justices R. Mahadevan and S. Ananthi granted the interim relief after hearing senior counsel Sriram Panchu and S. Prabakaran, representing B. Shanmugam, a co-accused. Since none appeared on behalf of the ED on Friday, the court ordered notice to the Deputy Director returnable in four weeks.
