Courts Address Disqualification and Resignation Issues of AIADMK MLAs in Tamil Nadu
The Supreme Court dismissed a plea challenging the Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker's decision to drop disqualification proceedings against AIADMK MLAs who supported the TVK-led government in a trust vote. The court noted the lawmakers remain AIADMK members despite violating the party whip. Separately, the Madras High Court is set to rule on a petition contesting the Speaker's acceptance of resignations from six rebel AIADMK MLAs, who later joined TVK. The Speaker maintained the resignations were voluntary, while petitioners questioned the timing amid pending disqualification cases.
