SC stays Madras HC order restoring disproportionate wealth case against former CM Panneerselvam

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed an order of the Madras High Court restoring a disproportionate wealth case against expelled AIADMK leader and former Tamil Nadu chief minister O Panneerselvam and seven of his family members.

A bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and S V N Bhatti issued notice on the plea filed by Panneerselvam.

The high court, on October 29, set aside an order of a lower court permitting the prosecution to withdraw from a disproportionate wealth case against Panneerselvam and others, and discharging the accused.
