Madras High Court to Hear AIADMK Challenge on Rebel MLAs' Resignations and DisqualificationPreviousNext

The AIADMK has challenged the Speaker's acceptance of resignations from four rebel MLAs who joined the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), seeking to halt by-elections in their constituencies until the court resolves the issue. The Madras High Court is hearing the case alongside related petitions. Meanwhile, the Advocate General assured the court that disqualification proceedings against these MLAs will follow legal principles and be completed, citing a Supreme Court ruling that mandates acceptance of genuine resignations.
