The Telangana High Court on Friday, 22 November granted an interim stay on the Home Ministry's order cancelling the citizenship of TRS MLA Ramesh Chennamaneni.
Ramesh moved the court on Thursday seeking to set aside the MHA's order.
Justice Challa Kondanda Ram posted the case for further hearing to 16 December. The TRS MLA also prayed for suspension of related proceedings pending disposal of his plea.
Ramesh was re-elected to the Telangana Assembly from the Vemulawada constituency last year.
The Home Ministry on Wednesday had issued a fresh order cancelling the Indian citizenship of Chennamaneni for concealing facts pertaining to his visits to India during the 12-month period immediately preceding his application seeking citizenship.
