AIADMK dispute | Panneerselvam gets no relief from Supreme Court on expulsion

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to interfere in a petition filed by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam and others challenging their expulsion from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party and his removal as its coordinator in 2022.

“It does appear there is a split… We will not interfere at this stage. It will only worsen things and lead to a huge chaos. Let things work out by itself,” Justice Sanjiv Khanna heading a Bench comprising Justice Dipankar Datta addressed senior advocate K.K. Venugopal, appearing for Mr. Panneerselvam.

Mr. Venugopal accused AIADMK leader and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, represented by senior advocate Aryama Sundaram and advocate Rohini Musa, of having converted the joint leadership structure of the party under the coordinator and joint coordinator to single leadership. Mr. Palaniswami was joint coordinator at the time.
