NDTV
OPS had contended that only the Coordinator and the Joint Coordinator can convene the meeting as per law.
In a major setback to AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam, the Madras High Court today rejected his plea to stay the conduct of the general council meeting of the party, virtually making way for rival leader Edappady K Palaniswami's elevation as a possible single leader of the party.
Justice Krishnan Ramaswamy delivered the verdict on Monday morning, which allowed the EPS faction to hold the general council meeting, the supreme decision making body of the main opposition party in Tamil Nadu.
In the meeting, the 2500-plus strong General Council largely with pro-EPS members is expected to elevate EPS as the interim general secretary of the party, abolishing the present dual leadership model. The meeting is also likely to strip O Panneerselvam's position as Treasurer.
