Restriction on public entry to Jayalalithaa’s house to remain
The first Division Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday stayed the operation of an order passed by a single judge on Wednesday directing the State government to surrender with the Registrar General of the court the keys of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s Poes Garden residence ‘Veda Nilayam’, which had been converted into a memorial since Thursday.
Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy granted the interim stay after Advocate General Vijay Narayan pointed out to the court that the property was never in possession of the legal heirs J. Deepa and J. Deepak, the niece and nephew of Jayalalithaa. He said the government had acquired it in accordance with law.

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Thursday opened late CM J Jayalalithaa’s Veda Nilayam residence in Poes Garden as a memorial.
The conversion of the residence on a ten-ground plot into a memorial was one of the key demands of deputy CM O Panneerselvam for the merger of his erstwhile faction with the EPS group in August 2017.
After the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, Palaniswami, Panneerselvam and cabinet colleagues stepped into the residence and lit kuthuvilakku, the traditional lamp, and took a tour of the house.
