\nThe Supreme Court on Monday sought response from the Enforcement Directorate on the bail plea of former Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji, who was arrested last year in connection with a money laundering case.<\/p>\n

A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan issued notice to the agency and directed it to file reply by April 29.<\/p>\n

The Madras High Court on February 28, while dismissing the bail petition, had said that if he is let out on bail in a case of this nature, it will send a wrong signal and that it will be against the larger public interest.<\/p>\n

It had said the petitioner has suffered incarceration for more than eight months and therefore, it will be more appropriate to direct the special court to dispose of the case within a time frame.<\/p>\n

“Accordingly, there shall be a direction to the Principal Special Court, Chennai, to dispose of the case within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order,” it had ordered.<\/p>\n

The high court ordered that the trial shall be conducted on a day-to-day basis in accordance with the guidelines given by the top court.<\/p>\n

Balaji was arrested on June 14 last year by the ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to a cash-for-jobs scam when he was the Transport minister during an earlier AIADMK regime.<\/p>\n

The ED had on August 12 last year filed a 3,000-page charge sheet against Balaji.<\/p>\n

The high court had on October 19 dismissed Balaji’s earlier bail plea. A local court also dismissed his bail petitions thrice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
