Supreme Court Upholds Tamil Nadu Speaker's Decision on AIADMK MLAs' Disqualification
The Supreme Court declined to intervene in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker's decision to drop disqualification proceedings against 21 AIADMK MLAs who supported the TVK government during a confidence vote despite defying the party whip. The court noted the AIADMK leadership appeared to have condoned their actions and questioned the petitioner's standing to challenge the decision. Meanwhile, the Madras High Court is set to rule on a plea against accepting resignations of six rebel AIADMK MLAs who later joined TVK, amid allegations of horse-trading denied by TVK.
