The interim injunction was granted on a petition filed by AIADMK general secretary and former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday restrained expelled AIADMK leader O Paneerselvam (OPS) from using the AIADMK party's name, flag, symbol and letterhead.
Justice N Satishkumar granted the interim injunction on a petition filed by AIADMK general secretary and former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS), which sought to restrain OPS from using the party's name, flag, symbol and letterhead.
In his petition, EPS submitted that when the Election Commission and the High Court had recognised him as the general secretary of the AIADMK, OPS claimed to be the party's coordinator and confused cadres. Therefore, he has filed the present petition. Earlier, on two occasions OPS had sought time to file a counter affidavit.
