Saradha scam: SC restrains ED from taking any punitive action against Nalini Chidambaram

The Supreme Court on Friday (August 3) restrained Enforcement Directorate (ED) from taking any punitive action against Nalini Chidambaram, wife of former Union minister P Chidambaram, in a case related to multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam.

The bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan further issued notice to ED.

Earlier, Madras HC had refused to cancel the ED summons (to appear as a witness in the case) after which Nalini had approached the apex court.
