Supreme Court stays Madras HC order that had restored defamation proceedings against EPS

The Supreme Court on January 19 provided relief to AIADMK party general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami by staying a Madras High Court order, which had restored defamation proceedings initiated against him by expelled AIADMK leader and former MP K.C. PalanisamI.

The High Court had set aside a Chennai court order, passed in August 2023, dismissing the defamation complaint filed by Mr. PalaniswamI against the former Chief Minister.
