Division Bench says litigant can approach single judge seeking a stay of the meeting
The Madras High Court on Monday refused to restrain All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) from convening its general council meeting on July 11.
Justices M. Duraiswamy and Sunder Mohan made it clear that an order passed by them at 4:40 am on June 23 was only with respect to the meeting held on that day.
They told advocate A.K. Sriram, representing general council member M. Shunmugam, that he could approach the single judge to stall the July 11 meet.
The Bench further granted time till Thursday for senior counsel Vijay Narayan, representing Edappadi K. Palaniswami, to file counter affidavits to new applications.
The counter had to be filed to a series of three applications taken out by Mr. Shanmugum in his original side appeal pending before the Division Bench.
One of the applications was to stall the July 11 meet and another to stay the appointment of Tamil Magan Hussain as presidium chairman of the party.
One more application had been taken out to punish the top brass of the party for having allegedly defied the June 23 order passed by the Division Bench.
