The Madras High Court has dismissed a petition seeking an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into seizures of over ₹4 crores from train passengers and the DMK office in Tamil Nadu. The court ruled that the offenses under which the police registered the case did not fall under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), which limits the ED’s jurisdiction. The judges stated that a detailed order explaining the reasons for dismissal will be released later.
