Chennai, Mar 17 The Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the Chennai City Civil court to take up the PMK intra-party leadership dispute case after May 10 when the election process in Tamil Nadu gets completed.
PMK founder S Ramadoss had moved the city civil court seeking to restrain his son Anbumani from using the party's name, flag or symbol.
Anbumani too filed a counter case. During the trial, PMK general secretary Vadivel Ravanan filed an impleading petition seeking to make himself a party to the case and his plea was accepted by the high court.
Justice T V Tamilselvi, who heard the arguments on the leadership dispute, refrained from vacating the existing interim stay on the lower court proceedings, and said the intra-party leadership dispute case could be taken up after May 10 once the election process in Tamil Nadu was completed.
Elections to 234 Assembly seats are scheduled on April 23, with the counting slated for May 4.
