Madras HC refuses to injunct AIADMK GC resolutions

In a big win for interim general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami, the Madras High Court on March 27 dismissed all petitions challenging General Council resolutions by ousted leader O Panneerselvam. The court also rejected interim applications taken out by ousted leaders O Panneerselvam, PH Manoj Pandian, R Vaithilingam and JCD Prabhakar against AIADMK general council meet and general secretary elections. With this verdict, Edappadi K Palaniswami's path to leadership has been cleared of hurdles.
