The Division Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday had recently set aside an Order passed by a Single Judge on August 17 in favour of Mr. Panneerselvam.
The Division Bench had allowed the appeals challenging the verdict of the Single Judge of the High Court, who had nullified the party's July 11 general council meet when Mr. Palaniswami was elected interim general secretary and Mr. Panneerselvam was expelled from the party.
Mr. Panneerselvam had appealed to the Supreme Court against the Division Bench decision. "Everything can be done and should be done in a manner prescribed under the law and by-laws. Even if a person has 100% majority, it must be done in a meeting held according to the law," the apex court remarked orally on Friday.
The Bench addressed Mr. Palaniswami's side, saying he could continue as the interim general secretary, "but we will say no further elections for general secretary".
