The Madras High Court on Thursday allowed an application preferred by Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Udhayanidhi Stalin and rejected an election petition filed by a voter challenging his victory in the 2021 Assembly election.
Justice V. Bharathidasan rejected the election petition filed by R. Premalatha of Chepauk because the MLA had not suppressed the criminal cases pending against him and the petitioner had not submitted any substantial material to prove alleged electoral malpractice.
