An arbitral tribunal, constituted at the instance of the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), has concluded that the political party, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam is popularly known by its abbreviation AIADMK, and hence the party’s former member K.C. Palanisamy cannot continue to use the domain name www.aiadmk.org.in
The tribunal, headed by sole arbitrator Pankaj Garg ordered the transfer of the domain name in favour of the party and restrained the former member from using the same name or any other deceptively similar name. It directed NIXI to take incidental or anciliary actions required for the transfer of the domain name.
