TN to consider Deepa's plea on Jaya's Poes Garden home
The Tamil Nadu government on Monday said it would consider late chief minister J Jayalalithaa's niece J Deepa's request over converting her aunt's multi-crore Poes Garden residence into a memorial.
Replying to a recent notice issued by the Madras High Court, Advocate General Vijay Narayan said the government would consider the request within four weeks.
Deepa had said that she and her brother Deepak were the heirs to Jayalalithaa's properties under the Hindu Succession Act of 1956.
She also contended that the government decided to convert "Vedha Nilayam" into a memorial without consulting her.
Deepa claimed that her paternal grandmother Vedavalli had bought properties in and around Chennai and died in 1971. So, her son Jayakumar and daughter Jayalalithaa lived in the Poes Garden house.
"Jayalalithaa died on December 5, 2016, leaving me and my brother as second-class legal heirs to succeed my aunt's entire estate, which includes Veda Nilayam in Poes Garden", Deepa further claimed.
Deepa said she approached the court as the government did not consider her request over not interfering with her right over the properties.
When Deepa's petition came up for hearing, Justice K Ravichandrabaabu accepted the request of the advocate general and asked the government to issue a proper order.
