Supreme Court Upholds FIR Registration Against K N Nehru in Cash-for-Jobs Scam
The Supreme Court dismissed former Tamil Nadu minister K N Nehru's challenge to a Madras High Court order directing the registration of an FIR in a 634-crore cash-for-jobs scam. The investigation concerns alleged recruitment irregularities during Nehru's tenure in the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department. The court emphasized that the order allows investigation but does not determine guilt. The Enforcement Directorate provided evidence of alleged bribery linked to job appointments, and Nehru retains the right to defend himself in future proceedings.
