SC judge recuses from hearing in TASMAC-linked corruption case
The anticipatory-bail matter concerns a fresh FIR alleging irregular shop and bar allotments, inflated supplier invoices and liquor sales above MRP at Tamil Nadu’s TASMAC outlets. The allegations remain subject to investigation and judicial review.
Supreme Court hearing on Senthil Balaji’s anticipatory bail concerns a fresh TASMAC corruption FIR alleging shop and bar allotment irregularities, inflated supplier invoices and organised liquor overcharging above MRP across Tamil Nadu retail outlets.
Why this matters
The recusal adds a Supreme Court procedural turn to TASMAC's scrutiny after the Madras High Court denied Senthil Balaji anticipatory bail and TASMAC tightened overpricing penalties following a court directive.
