A Supreme Court bench of Justices AS Bopanna and MM Sundresh has begun hearing pleas filed by minister Senthil Balaji and his wife Megala, challenging the verdict of the Madras High Court regarding the legality of his arrest and whether he could be taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
While Balaji and his wife are represented by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, the ED is being represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.
The Division Bench of the Madras High Court, which was expected to decide the date on which the ED could take Balaji into custody, as per the judgement of Justice CV Karthikeyan, closed the case yesterday (25 July), citing the appeals pending in the Supreme Court.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
