Petition against Jaya memorial

The plea as an interim measure has also sought for a direction to abstain the State from constructing the proposed memorial for the former Chief Minister. A division bench, comprising Justices M Sathyanarayanan and N Seshasayee, before whom the PIL moved by an advocate S Doraisamy, came up for hearing on Monday said, “In the light of the grounds raised by the petitioner in the affidavit, the writ petition is admitted and notice issued to the authorities concerned returnable by August 18, 2017.”
