The Supreme Court has stayed the proceedings initiated the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) against Yash Tuteja, son of IAS officer Anil Tuteja, for his alleged involvement in the Chhattisgarh liquor scam.
The national agency had identified Yash as the kingpin of the syndicate for illegal supply of liquor in Chhattisgarh.
The Bench of Justice S.K. Kaul and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia directed that the same order would apply to all 35 Government officers, who were also facing trial in the case.
Earlier, the Apex Court had directed ED to refrain from taking any coercive steps against Yash Tuteja.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal informed the Apex Court that the government officers were being asked to give details of their properties, even though there was no predicate offence against them.
