The Madras High Court on Monday adjourned to June 10 a batch of three original side appeals filed by expelled AIADMK leader O. Panneerselvam against a single judge’s order restraining him from using the ‘two leaves’ symbol, besides imposing other restraints.
A Division Bench of Justices R. Subramanian and R. Sakthivel said that it was neither passing any interim order nor rejecting the plea for interim orders, but was only adjourning the appeals, simpliciter, until after the general election, to avoid confusion during the ongoing election process.
Senior counsel P.H. Arvindh Pandian, representing the appellant, said that 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 (EC) seeking the ‘two leaves’ symbol.
