The Madras High Court on Thursday sought to know how a regular investigation can be done by way of a preliminary enquiry by the DVAC on a corruption complaint against Tamil Nadu Minister Rajendra Balaji.
The probe was initiated by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) based on a complaint by Mahendran alleging that Balaji had amassed wealth disproportionate to known sources of income when he was minister between 2011-13.
After perusing the submissions by the Minister, a Division Bench of Justices M Sathyanarayanan and R Hemalatha, said, "The court has considered the arguments addressed by the senior counsel and also perused the closure report."
To this, the bench, said, "By considering the arguments placed and also perusal of the closure report and consideration of materials placed would prima facie disclose that elaborate and detailed inquiry on the line of regular investigation has been done by the way of preliminary inquiry."
