Former interim general secretary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) V.K. Sasikala has preferred an appeal before the Madras High Court against an Additional City Civil Court’s April 11 order rejecting her plaint which sought a declaration that her removal from the post on September 12, 2017 is illegal and void.
The appeal suit is expected to be listed before Justice R.N. Manjula this week. It had been preferred against a common order passed by Additional District Judge J. Sridevi, who had allowed applications filed by AIADMK leaders Edappadi K. Palaniswami, O. Pannneerselvam (now expelled) and S. Semmalai to reject her plaint.
The judge had also simultaneously dismissed an application preferred by Ms. Sasikala to amend the plaint and include new reliefs, including a declaration that she continues to be the general secretary of the party and the creation of the posts of coordinator and co-coordinator on September 12, 2017 was illegal.
