The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would consider listing before August 19 an appeal filed by expelled AIADMK leader O. Panneerselvam, challenging a Madras High Court order that only the party’s interim general secretary, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, is entitled to possession of the party headquarters in Chennai.
Appearing before a Bench, led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana, senior advocate Shekhar Nadphade, for Mr. Panneerselvam, in an oral mentioning, said the matter required an urgent hearing. He said the High Court had barred party workers from entering the premises for a month.
