The Supreme Court on September 30 recorded a statement by the counsel for Edappadi K. Palaniswami that election to the post of general secretary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) will not be held till the apex court hears the tussle between him and O. Panneerselvam over the party's leadership.
A Bench led by Justice M. R. Shah posted the case on November 21 and said there should not be any further aggravation of hostilities between the two camps.
Senior advocates Aryama Sundaram C. S. Vaidyanathan and advocate Balaji Srinivsan, for Mr. Palaniswami's camp, assured the court that "we will not proceed with any election".
