Supreme Court Criticizes Tamil Nadu for Delaying Justice in Cash-for-Jobs Scandal

The Supreme Court has taken a stern stance against the Tamil Nadu government, accusing it of deliberately delaying trials in the cash-for-jobs scandal involving former minister V Senthil Balaji.

Allegations have surfaced that the state has implicated more than 2,000 individuals to prevent the trial from concluding in a timely manner, affecting those coerced into paying for employment.

In the midst of the scandal, Balaji resigned from his ministerial position as investigations continue, and the court scrutinizes the prolonged judicial proceedings.
