The Supreme Court of India (SC) has labeled Tamil Nadu's petition against the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) summons to some district magistrates (DMs) in a money laundering case as 'strange and unusual'. The state had approached the apex court questioning why it could not sue the ED if the agency could issue summons to them. This legal battle stems from a probe into alleged money laundering connected to a sand mining case. The SC has also put a hold on a previous interim order by the Madras High Court (Madras HC), directing the district collectors to comply with the ED's summons and appear before the agency.
