The Supreme Court on Monday heard a plea filed by former Tamil Nadu Minister V. Senthil Balaji seeking deletion of certain observations made by the Court while refusing to cancel his bail in the money laundering case linked to the ‘cash-for-jobs’ scam. Counsel for Balaji requested that the plea, listed as item 49, be taken up along with item 35. In September 2024, the Supreme Court had granted Balaji bail on medical grounds, noting that his health condition required specialised care. Balaji had approached the Top Court against Madras High Court judgment which dismissed his bail plea on February 28, 2024. Case Title: V Senthil Balaji v. K. Vidhya Kumar and connected matters.
