TVK Removes Functionary After Court Challenge Over Advocate Appointments
M Gnanasoundari, a TVK functionary and advocate, was removed from the party on July 17 after she filed a public interest litigation in the Madras High Court alleging bribery in temporary government advocate appointments in Villupuram district. The party rejected her claims, accusing her of false allegations and violating party discipline. The court disposed of her petition after the advocate general clarified the appointments were temporary, and certain leaders' names were dropped from the petition to avoid undue media attention.
