CHENNAI: The PMK was restrained by the Madras High Court from making arrangements in any way for conducting its State-level conference at the disputed VGP Thidal in Kilaambakkam on the Vandalur-Urapakkam GST Road in Kanchipuram district on February 14.
The second Bench of Justices SK Agnihotri and M Venugopal on Wednesday granted the interim stay for two days.
The Bench was passing interim orders on a writ appeal from the DGP and other officials challenging the orders of a single judge, dated January 29, granting permission for the conference.
The Bench impleaded the VGP Housing Private Limited, as it claimed ownership over the land as a party and ordered notice to it, returnable by February 12.
Another Division Bench, on October 15, 2015, had restrained all parties involved in the dispute relating to the ownership of the land, from alienating, transferring and creating any encumbrance on the property. A board was also erected on the site stating, ‘the land under court dispute’.
Against this background, the PMK moved the HC with a writ petition for grant of permission to conduct the conference on the disputed land on January 14 and a single judge on January 29 granted the plea. The judge had held then that the restraint order passed by the Bench would not come in the way of granting permission. Hence the appeal contending that the PMK had suppressed the pendency of the matter.
