The Madras High Court on Wednesday dismissed as infructuous a civil suit filed by AIADMK general council member M. Shanmugam against the party’s June 23, 2022 general council meet.
This was the first case filed to prevent a shift from dual leadership of O. Panneerselvam and Edappadi K. Palaniswami as coordinator and joint coordinator to unitary leadership in the party.
Justice N. Sathish Kumar dismissed the suit since the subsequent general council meet held on July 11, 2022 had elected Mr. Palaniswami as general secretary and expelled Mr. Panneerselvam.
