Madras HC upholds order disqualifying 18 AIADMK MLAs
The Madras High Court on Thursday upheld Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal's order to disqualify 18 AIADMK MLAs who supported then sidelined AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran last year. Earlier, a two-judge bench had given a split verdict. Dhinakaran said the verdict isn't a setback and future course of action will be decided after a meeting with the former MLAs.
