Madras High Court Declines To Interfere With ED Probe Against TN Minister I. Periyasamy

The Madras High Court dismissed Tamil Nadu Minister I. Periyasamy’s plea challenging an ECIR and related proceedings initiated by the Enforcement Directorate under the PMLA.

The Court held that the petition was premature, as the parties had not first approached the PMLA Adjudicating Authority.

It directed Periyasamy and his family to avail the statutory remedy before the authority and clarified that they may approach the Court later if aggrieved by its decision.
