New Delhi, 28th Nov. The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of DMK minister V Senthil Balaji, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate for money laundering.
Balaji had requested bail on health grounds. The Madras High Court had previously dismissed his bail plea on October 19, stating that he could potentially influence witnesses if released on bail.
After reviewing the health reports, a bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and SC Sharma from the Supreme Court determined that his health condition was not severe enough to warrant bail. However, they granted Balaji the freedom to approach the trial court to seek regular bail, clarifying that any negative remarks made in the interim order would not hinder his ability to file a regular bail application.
The high court had dismissed the bail plea, stating that Balaji’s health condition did not require release on bail for proper care.
