Madras High Court Allows Withdrawal of Case Against M.K. Stalin on Trust Property Allegations
The Madras High Court dismissed as withdrawn a petition alleging that former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin suppressed details about DMK Charitable Trust properties in his 2026 election affidavit. The bench, led by Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan, found no substantial evidence of Stalin's personal interest in the trust's property purchase. The petitioner, advocate T. Sivagnanasambandan, withdrew the case after the court's remarks, retaining the option to pursue other legal remedies.
