Madras High Court Summons ED Director in TASMAC Case
A court in India is upset with a government agency because they kept doing things the court told them not to.
The agency, the ED, was investigating a big money issue and was told to stop by the court.
But, the ED kept going, even after the court said no.
The court is now making the ED's boss come to court to explain why they didn't follow the rules.
This all started because the ED was looking into a case of possible corruption involving alcohol sales.
Madras High Court summons ED Joint Director over summons issued to film producer.
The summons was issued despite a court-ordered stay in a TASMAC liquor scam probe.
The court expressed displeasure over the agency's repeated non-compliance with its orders.
The ED's counsel argued the summons was an oversight; the court insisted on the officer's appearance.
The case relates to alleged corruption in TASMAC operations, prompting the court action.
