Supreme Court Dismisses Pleas Against AIADMK MLAs Joining Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam
The Supreme Court dismissed a plea challenging the resignation of six AIADMK MLAs who voted against the party whip and joined the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The court upheld the Madras High Court's rejection of a petition seeking an 'Election Expenditure Security' mechanism and disqualification of these MLAs. Additionally, the Supreme Court declined a plea for a CBI probe into alleged 'horse-trading' involving these MLAs and a Tamil Nadu minister. The Speaker's acceptance of the resignations and related disqualification petitions remain under judicial consideration.
