The Madras High Court has dismissed all five pleas against building a memorial for late M Karunanidhi at Marina Beach, after petitioners withdrew their cases.<\/p>\n
The court had resumed hearing at 8 AM on Wednesday a DMK plea to allot space on the Marina beach for burial of party leader M Karunanidhi.<\/p>\n
The DMK moved the court hours after the state government announced its inability to allot burial space on the Marina beach citing legal hurdles.<\/p>\n
In a special late night hearing before the first bench, comprising Acting Chief Justice Huluvadi G Ramesh and Justice S S Sundar, the counsel for DMK questioned the government’s legal ground for not allotting space for burying Karunanidhi at the Marina beach. Hearing the matter, Acting Chief Justice Huluvadi G Ramesh adjourned it to 8 am.<\/p>\n
The DMK argued that there was no legal impediment to allotting space within the memorial of former Chief Minister C N Annadurai on the beachfront. Senior counsel for the state government, making their submissions, said they would get instructions and file a counter in the morning.<\/p>\n
Earlier, DMK working president M K Stalin, recalling the long public life of Karunanidhi, had written to Chief Minister K Palaniswami seeking space inside the mausoleum complex of the departed leader’s mentor C N Annadurai at the Marina. A government statement said it was “unable to allot space at Marina beach owing to several pending cases in the Madras High Court and legal complications.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
