The Madras High Court has restrained the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from proceeding further against Electricity and Prohibition Minister V. Senthilbalaji, his brother R.V. Ashok Kumar and another person under money laundering charges until the disposal of petitions pending in the court to quash two job racketing cases against them.
Justices T. Raja and K. Kumaresh Babu issued the restraint order while disposing of writ petitions filed by the trio to declare as illegal the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) registered against them on July 29, 2021 on the basis of three job racketing First Information Reports (FIRs) booked by the local police in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
