AIADMK’s interim general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami moved the Madras High Court on Tuesday, challenging the proceedings initiated by a Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) under Sections 145(1) and 146 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to lock and seal the party headquarters in Royapettah, Chennai.
Justice N. Sathish Kumar accepted senior counsel Vijay Narayan’s request for an urgent hearing of the case, and directed the Registry to list it for hearing on Wednesday.
When a similar request was made on behalf of expelled leader O. Panneerselvam in the afternoon, the judge agreed to hear that case too, if it gets numbered.
