The Supreme Court, on Thursday, May 22, temporarily stayed the Enforcement Directorate’s investigation and raids against Tamil Nadu’s state-run liquor body Tasmac (Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation).
The Chief Justice of India BR Gavai, made strong remarks against the central agency and found ED’s actions disproportionate and possibly unconstitutional, as law and order is a state subject.
Chief Justice Gavai made strong remarks, saying the ED was “crossing all limits” and “violating the federal structure” by targeting a state corporation.
The order comes after Tamil Nadu government moved the Supreme Court against the Madras High Court’s order on Tuesday (May 20). This appeal followed the Madras High Court’s decision on April 23, allowing the ED probe to proceed.
