All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s expelled leader O. Panneerselvam on Friday informed the Madras High Court of having filed an appeal directly in the Supreme Court against an order passed by a single judge of the High Court on July 11 permitting the conduct of the party’s general council meet on the same day.
Appearing before Justice N. Sathish Kumar, who was seized of petitions filed by both Mr. Panneerselvam and AIADMK interim general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami against the sealing of party headquarters, senior counsel P.H. Arvindh Pandian said the appeal was filed in the Supreme Court on Thursday, and it had even been assigned a diary number.
When Justice Kumar wondered how Mr. Panneerselvam could refuse to accept the resolutions passed at the July 11 general council, which was conducted as per court orders, Mr. Pandian asked the judge to not rely upon the single judge’s order passed on that day since it had now been taken on appeal directly before the Supreme Court.
