Madras HC grants anticipatory bailHC grants anticipatory bail to former minister V Senthil Balaji’s brother

The Madras High Court granted anticipatory bail to the brother of former Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji in cases involving an alleged attack on income tax officials.

The court intervened after officials arrived at the petitioner's premises on May 26, 2023, to conduct search operations under the Income Tax Act.

This ruling matters as it provides legal protection to the former minister's associate while the state continues its enforcement actions against alleged obstruction of tax duties.
