A Division Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday decided to take up for final hearing on Thursday the appeals preferred by All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader Edappadi K Palaniswami against a single judge's order in favour of the other leader O Panneerselvam.
The Division Bench of Justices M. Duraiswamy and Sunder Mohan took the decision after senior counsel P.H. Arvindh Pandian, representing Mr. Panneerselvam, said, he had serious objections to grant of interim stay but was willing to advance arguments directly on the appeals.
Senior counsel Vijay Narayan, representing Mr. Palaniswami, said, he had no objection to arguing the appeals directly but requested the court to take them up for final hearing at the earliest since there was a deadlock in the functioning of the party due to the single judge's order.
