All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday chose to prefer an appeal against an order passed by a single judge of the Madras High Court on Wednesday declaring as void a July 11 general council meet in which he got elected as interim general secretary.
Appearing before the second Division Bench of Justices M. Duraiswamy and Sunder Mohan, Senior Counsel Vijay Narayan made a request for urgent hearing of the appeal on Monday. The senior judge in the Bench agreed to take it up on Monday if the Registry numbers the appeal by Thursday afternoon.
In his grounds of appeal, Mr. Palaniswami said, the single judge had completely ignored the fact that the posts of the Coordinator and Joint Coordinator had lapsed and therefore in no circumstances could they jointly act to convene any executive council or general council meeting as directed by the judge.
