The Supreme Court on September 12 said the attachment of the AIADMK party office was an "extreme" measure in a democracy even as it did not entertain former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam's plea against a Madras High Court order which later gave the building's keys to rival Edappadi K. Palaniswami.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said the High Court’s decision two months ago has more or less restored the peace.
