The Madras High Court on Monday, March 25, 2024, simply adjourned to June 10, 2024 a batch of three original side appeals filed by All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) expelled leader O. Panneerselvam, against a single judge’s order restraining him from using the ‘Two Leaves’ symbol, party flag and letterhead.
A Division Bench of Justices R. Subramanian and R. Sakthivel said, it was neither passing any interim orders nor rejecting the plea for interim orders, but only adjourning the appeals, simpliciter, after the general elections, in order to avoid any kind of confusion during the ongoing election process.
Senior Counsel P.H. Arvindh Pandian, representing the appellant, said, his only concern was that the interim injunction order passed by the single judge on March 18, 2024 should not disentitle his client from approaching the Election Commission of India (ECI) seeking the ‘Two Leaves’ symbol.
