The Madras High Court Monday ordered notice to the Tamil Nadu government on a PIL seeking to restrain the state from acquiring the Poes Garden residence of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa and converting it into a memorial using public funds.
A division bench of Justices Vineet Kothari and Anita Sumanth ordered notice on the plea moved by activist 'Traffic' K R Ramaswamy.
The petitioner contended that the state government should not be allowed to build a memorial for Jayalalithaa "who was declared a convict in the disproportionate assets case by the Supreme Court."
