Governor RN Ravi refused to appoint leaders of Stalin’s cabinet.
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider the Tamil Nadu government’s plea against Governor RN Ravi’s refusal to appoint senior DMK leader K Ponmudy as a minister in the state cabinet.
The governor had recently refused to induct senior DMK leader and former higher education minister back into the state cabinet, saying it was against constitutional ethics.
The bench, comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, took note of the submissions made by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the state government, that there was some urgency in the case and it should be included in the hearing.
“Please send an email. I will check the email,” the CJI said.
In a letter to Chief Minister Stalin, the governor said the Supreme Court had only stayed the conviction of Ponmoudi through an interim order.
The governor refused to appoint leaders of Stalin’s cabinet. Recently, the state government reinstated Ponmoudi as an MP after the Supreme Court stayed his conviction in the disproportionate assets case.
