CHENNAI: The State Government on Friday informed the Madras High Court that it is yet to decide whether to hold Gram Sabha meetings on January 26. The court was hearing a plea moved by DMK principal secretary KN Nehru and MNM leader AG Mourya seeking conduct of the meetings.
“On October 2, the Collectors suddenly cancelled the Grama Sabhas,” counsel Vijayan Subramanian argued for the petitioner. State Advocate General Vijay Narayan submitted that the State is yet to decide on holding meetings and sought time to file report. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy directed the State to file its response on the petition in two weeks.
