Special Court warns ex-DMK Minister Senthilbalaji of bail cancellation over delaying tactics in 2011 cash for jobs case

Chennai, Nov 12 (UNI) The Special Court for cases against elected MPs and MLAs on Thursday issued a stern warning to senior DMK leader and Former Tamil Nadu Minister V.Senthilbalaji and his brother V.Ashok Kumar for adopting delaying tactics in the 2011 cash for jobs scame during the erstwhile AIADMK regime.
Senthilbalaji had served as the Transport Minister between 2011-15 AIADMK government headed by J.Jayalalithaa from 2011 to 2014, later by O.Panneerselvam 2014-15 and again by Jayalalithaa in 2015.

Senthil Balaji and Ashok Kumar appeared before the Special Court Judge N.Logeswaran who issued a stern warning to the duo for adopting delaying tactics during the framing of charges.
The court warned them against filing sequential discharge petitions to unnecessarily delay the framing of charges. This would not be entertained and that their bail could be cancelled if delays persist.
A total of three three cases were registered by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) regarding alleged irregularities and receipt of money for jobs in the transport department during the 2011–2015 period, involving over 2,200 accused individuals.
