Court orders notices returnable by January 7 to OPS, EPS and others
The Madras High Court on Friday refused to pass any interim order with respect to the conduct of the AIADMK organisational elections, scheduled to be held on Tuesday, for the posts of coordinator and co-coordinator of the party.
Justice Abdul Quddhose only ordered notices, returnable by January 7, to the AIADMK, its incumbent coordinator O. Pannneerselvam, co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami and election officers C. Ponnaiyan and Pollachi V. Jayaraman. He adjourned the case by a month for the filing of counter-affidavits.
Former MP K.C. Palanisamy had filed the civil suit, seeking to declare illegal the election notification issued by the party on Thursday. He also sought a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from conducting polls to the posts of coordinator and co-coordinator.
