Chennai: The Madras high court on Monday rejected the suit filed by expelled AIADMK Rajya Sabha MP Sasikala Pushpa seeking to restrain the party from unlawfully and arbitrarily appointing V.K. Sasikala, a close aide of the former Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, as general secretary of the party.
Justice K.Kalyanasundaram allowed the application filed by AIADMK party presidium Chairman and former minister E.Madhusoodhanan seeking to reject the suit filed by Sasikala Pushpa to restrain the party from appointing V.K.Sasikala as General Secretary of the party. The judge struck off the plaint filed by Sasikala Pushpa and her husband Lingeswara Thilagam.
However, the details of the order were not made available to the media. Originally, Sasikala Pushpa and her husband filed suits, which also sought to restrain the AIADMK party in acting contrary to the Society Registration Act by amending the rules and regulations unlawfully for the purpose of enabling V.K.Sasikala to be appointed as general secretary of the party. During the hearing of the suits, Madhusoodhanan filed an application to reject the suit.
