The Supreme Court on Monday has stayed till further orders the proceedings in a corruption case against Tamil Nadu Rural Development Minister I Periyasamy.
A bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra stated that since the apex court is examining the appeal of the minister, who challenged the order of February 26 Madras High Court which set aside the trial court order discharging him in the case, the proceedings in the matter need to be stayed.
Furthermore, in an application filed through advocate Ram Sankar, Periyasamy sought the apex court’s direction for deferment of trial & exemption from personal appearance in the graft case before the Chennai court.
