Supreme Court Dismisses Plea Seeking Probe into Tamil Nadu Assembly Trust Vote
The Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities and horse-trading during the May 13 trust vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice V Mohana, found the allegations vague and unsupported by reliable evidence. The TVK government, led by C Joseph Vijay, secured the trust vote with support from rebel AIADMK MLAs and allied parties. Opposition claims of corruption were rejected by the court and the government.
