In a setback to Maran brothers, the Madras High Court on Wednesday dismissed petitions filed by Kalanithi Maran owned Sun TV and Kal Communications. The petitions challenge the attachment of their properties by Enforcement Directorate in connection with money laundering probe in Aircel-Maxis deal.
Justice M Sathyanarayanan dismissed the petitions and said that he was not inclined to entertain the plea. He further directed that Sun TV and Kal Communications approach the Supreme Court which is monitoring the Aircel-Maxis case.
The petitions challenged the March 31 provisional attachment order of ED attaching assets worth Rs 742.58 crore in the name of former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran, his businessman brother Kalanithi and other family members under provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
