Former Tamil Nadu Minister V. Senthilbalaji on May 6 pressed his case for bail in the Supreme Court, saying he had spent “328 days” in custody even as the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) said the cash-for-jobs scam case has seen the victims increasingly turn in favour of the accused.
A Bench headed by Justice A.S. Oka scheduled Mr. Balaji’s plea seeking regular bail for hearing on May 15.
In the previous hearing, the ED had accused Mr. Balaji, represented by senior advocate Aryama Sundaram, of playing a “central and pivotal role” in the “job racket scam” during the period of 2014-2015.
