The Supreme Court has raised a question regarding how Senthil Balaji can assume the role of a minister while several cases are pending against him. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court challenging Senthil Balaji’s bail application.
The petition came up for hearing before Justice Abhay Oka’s bench. After hearing the arguments, the judge questioned how Senthil Balaji could take office as a minister while multiple cases are still pending. He also questioned the fairness of Senthil Balaji assuming office as a minister the very next day after being granted bail.
The judge further stated that if a person involved in ongoing cases holds a ministerial position, it could intimidate witnesses, and such concerns need to be addressed. He emphasized that justice should be fair to everyone, and Senthil Balaji should provide an immediate response. The judge also ordered that a proper explanation be submitted in the form of an affidavit. The hearing was adjourned to the 13th of the month for further proceedings.
This case raises questions about Senthil Balaji’s political standing and the potential impact of his ministerial position on the legal process.
