New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to former Tamil Nadu Minister Senthil Balaji in a money laundering case arising out of the cash-for-jobs allegations.

A bench comprising Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih granted bail as there will be considerable delay in the trial to complete.

Justice Oka said that stringent bail provisions and delay in trial cannot go together.

The Apex Court had reserved its decision on Balaji’s petition on August 12, 2024.
