Former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam’s counsel on Friday withdrew a representation made to Madras High Court Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari on Wednesday urging him to transfer a civil suit, against the AIADMK’s July 11 general council meeting, from Justice Krishnan Ramasamy to some other judge.
In a written requisition to the Chief Justice, counsel P. Rajalakshmi said the representation was made only because Justice Ramasamy had already heard the suits filed against the June 23 and July 11 general council meetings and decided them on merits. Therefore, it was felt that a new judge could hear the matter remanded by the Supreme Court.
