The Madras High Court has dismissed pleas from the Tamil Nadu government and TASMAC, the state-run liquor retailing corporation, challenging the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) raids. The ED conducted raids based on allegations of financial irregularities and overpricing of liquor bottles amounting to approximately Rs 1,000 crore. TASMAC claimed harassment during the raids, which the ED refuted. The court’s decision marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle between the state government and the ED. The ED’s actions have raised concerns about corruption and malpractice in the state’s liquor industry. This ruling underscores the importance of accountability and transparency in financial transactions, particularly in sectors as sensitive as the liquor trade.
