Madras High Court Upholds Resignations of Six AIADMK MLAs, Allows Disqualification Proceedings
The Madras High Court upheld Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker JCD Prabhakar's acceptance of resignations from six AIADMK MLAs who joined the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The court ruled the resignations were genuine and voluntary, requiring no detailed inquiry. However, it clarified that pending disqualification proceedings against four MLAs for violating the party whip could continue, directing the Speaker to conclude them within two months. The ruling separates resignation acceptance from disqualification processes.
