Petitioner says party must conduct polls democratically
The Madras High Court on Tuesday reserved orders on a writ petition filed by a member of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) to restrain the Election Commission of India (ECI) from approving the election of former Chief Ministers O. Panneerselvam and Edappadi K. Palaniswami as the coordinator and co-coordinator of the party.
Acting Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu deferred their verdict after hearing arguments advanced by advocate N.G.R. Prasad, representing the writ petitioner J. Jayachandran of Arasanatti in Hosur. During the course of hearing, the judges wanted to know how a writ petition could be maintainable with respect to private affairs of a party.
They also asked how the Election Commission of India could be expected to interfere with the internal elections of a political party.
