A bench of the apex court, led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud, stayed the Madras High Court's Monday order. It is pertinent and significant to note here that the Madras High Court on Monday granted three months for the state's DVAC to hold a 'fair and transparent' investigation into the assets of these 21 officers. This order was stayed today by the apex court. A two-judge bench of the Madras High Court, led by Justice SS Sundar and N Senthilkumar, had on July 29, Monday passed the interim orders granting time to DVAC. The Supreme Court stayed the High Court's order, after hearing three state police officers -- S Chandran, Shailesh Kumar Yadav and another person -- being aggrieved by the High Court's order.
