1. Senthilbalaji case | SC issues notice to ED, lists case on July 26
The Supreme Court sought a response from the Directorate of Enforcement to a plea by Minister V. Senthilbalaji challenging the central agency’s power to take him into custody for interrogation in connection with the cash-for-jobs scam.
A Bench of Justices A.S. Bopanna and M.M. Sundresh scheduled the case for hearing on July 26 at 2 pm even as Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the Minister may have been trying to “avoid the investigation.”
