SC terms 'atrocious' and stays Madras HC order restraining newly elected TN MLA from voting in floor test

By Parmod Kumar
New Delhi, May 13 (UNI) Terming it "atrocious", the Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed a Madras High Court order restraining newly elected Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) MLA R. Seenivasa Sethupathi from voting in any floor test or trust vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. Sethupathi had won the Tiruppattur Assembly constituency in Sivagangai district by a margin of one vote.
Staying the High Court order as well as further proceedings in the matter, a Bench of Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sandeep Mehta and Justice Vijay Bishnoi observed, "This (order) is atrocious to say the least", while noting that the High Court had passed the impugned order on a petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution by defeated candidate K.R. Periakaruppan.
