Tamil Nadu Disqualified Mlas

The Tamil Nadu government informed the Supreme Court on Friday the Assembly Speaker has initiated action on DMK petition alleging the speaker did not act on a plea seeking disqualification of 11 AIADMK lawmakers voted against Chief Minister E Palaniswami during a 2017 confidence vote.

The Supreme Court today sought the Tamil Nadu government's response on a DMK petition, which has alleged the assembly speaker did not act on a plea seeking disqualification of 11 AIADMK lawmakers who voted against Chief Minister E Palaniswami during a 2017 confidence vote.

DMK moved the Supreme Court today seeking urgent hearing of its plea for disqualification of 11 AIADMK MLAs, including Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who voted against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami in a confidence motion in 2017.

The 18 disqualified AIADMK legislators will not appeal against the Madras High Court's order upholding Tamil Nadu Speaker P Dhanapal's order disqualifying them, said their camp leader TTV Dhinakaran.

After labelling them as betrayers, AIADMK on Saturday extended an olive branch to its 18 disqualified MLAs, asking them to jump on to the ruling party bandwagon and flayed AMMK leader T T V Dhinakaran for 'misleading' them.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker, P Dhanapal, overstepped his jurisdiction and disqualified 18 AIADMK lawmakers when a dispute over the party's name and symbol by rival claimants was pending before the Election Commission, counsel for them claimed in the Madras High Court today.

In significant remarks, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami today said any move by pro-Dhinakaran disqualified MLAs to return to AIADMK fold was welcome, but indicated he was not aware of any such plan.

A former AIADMK MLA disqualified along with 17 others for rebelling against Chief Minister K Palaniswami last year, has decided to withdraw his plea from the high court against his disqualification.

A divided verdict on whether 18 rebel AIADMK lawmakers should stay disqualified translated into big relief today for the minority Tamil Nadu government led by Chief Minister E Palaniswami. Two Madras High Court judges couldn't agree, which means the rebels remain disqualified for now and Mr Palaniswami, also known as EPS, will not face a test of st...

The Madras High Court will deliver its verdict on the disqualification of 18 legislators in September by Tamil Nadu assembly speaker P Dhanapal today. The disqualified legislators, in a letter to then governor C Vidyasagar Rao, had withdrawn support to Edappadi K Palaniswami while making it clear that they were not withdrawing their support to the ...

In a verdict that could impact the Tamil Nadu government led by Chief Minister E Palaniswami, the Madras High Court will decide today on a bunch of petitions filed by 18 AIADMK rebel lawmakers who were disqualified last year ahead of a trust vote. The High Court put the floor test on hold and directed that the 18 seats be kept vacant until its deci...

The Madras High Court today started hearing a batch of petitions including those challenging the disqualification of 18 pro-Dhinakaran MLAs by the Tamil Nadu assembly speaker.

The Madras High Court today adjourned to November 2 a petition challenging the Tamil Nadu Speaker's decision last month to disqualify 18 legislators of the ruling AIADMK loyal to VK Sasikala, who has been evicted by the party as its chief. The court had last month refused to stay Speaker P Dhanapal's order, but said the seats of the disqualified le...

The DMK today moved the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the Tamil Nadu Assembly speaker to disqualify Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam and 10 other AIADMK MLAs under the anti-defection law for voting against Chief Minister K Palaniswami's trust vote in February.

Eighteen lawmakers of Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK loyal to sacked chief VK Sasikala have been disqualified in a move that indemnifies Chief Minister E Palaniswami, should he face a trust vote.
