CHENNAI, July 12: The Tamil Nadu government has filed a petition in the Madras High Court seeking to vacate the interim order restraining the three special courts set up to investigate the corruption cases against former CM J Jayalalitha.

Seeking to quash the order, Jayalalitha and others moved the Madras HC and Justice Jayasimhababu granted an interim stay on June 17, 1997.
