“I hereby stay the suspension order made against Sri. Ruby R.Manoharan, MLA and also stay the entire disciplinary proceedings in the above matter being conducted by the Disciplinary Action Committee of Tamilnadu PCC,” he said.

Earlier, TN Congress issued an order suspending Ruby Manoharan since he failed to appear in person for an inquiry over violence in Sathyamurthy Bhavan in Chennai. Ruby Manoharan skipped the summon allegedly due to the commitments in his constituency. 

He also sought time to appear for the investigation. However, KR Ramasamy, chairman of TNCC’s disciplinary action committee suspended Manoharan until he gives a proper explanation.
