The Madras High Court will pronounce orders on January 23 on two writ petitions challenging the Tamil Nadu Government's order disbanding the posts of Makkal Nala Paniyalargal (MNP) and ousting them.
The petitions have been filed by the Tamil Nadu Makkal Nala Paniyalargal Munnetra Sangam (TNMNPMS) and the Dindigul Mavatta Makkal Nala Paniyalargal Sangam.
After hearing arguments, Justice K. Suguna reserved orders on December 16 last year. The court had earlier stayed the operation of the Tamil Nadu G.O. of November 8 last year disbanding the posts. In the petition, the TNMNPMS stated that the MNPs were working under the control of the District Collectors.
There was every need for their services for proper and better implementation of the scheme, more particularly the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
