The Madras High Court today rejected a plea seeking removal of late Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa's portrait from the state assembly.
First bench comprising Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice Abdul Quddhose dismissed the petition filed by DMK MLA J Anbazhagan seeking removal of the portrait, unveiled on February 10 last.
He had sought removal of the portrait on grounds that Jayalalithaa was found guilty on corruption charges.
The bench observed that in the absence of any law prohibiting the display of portraits of a person convicted for corruption, "this court cannot interfere in the matter."
