Chennai: A petition seeking to issue a stay order to convert former Chief Minister J Jayalaithaa’s Poes Garden residence was dismissed today.
The case was dismissed as the petition was withdrawn. It may be noted that the Madras High Court on recently declared that the niece and nephew of Jayalalithaa – J Deepa and J Deepak – were legal heirs entitled to inherit all her properties.
Further the court urged the State government to put Jayalalithaa’s Poes Garden residence to some use than for making a memorial. The verdict was issued a few days after Governor Banwarilal Purohit promulgated an ordinance to take temporary possession of the former Chief Minister’s residence for facilitating its conversion into a memorial.
