High court protects accused minister from investigation despite corruption allegations.
On July 15, 2026, the Supreme Court declined to interfere with a Madras High Court order restraining the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) from taking coercive action against former Tamil Nadu Minister E.V. Velu until July 28. The court dismissed an appeal by the TVK-led State government challenging the interim protection granted to Mr. Velu, who is accused in a corruption case related to road projects. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi argued that the High Court's order amounted to anticipatory bail but was overruled by Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta, who directed Mr. Velu to cooperate with the investigation.
