Tirupattur TVK MLA’s win by a single vote: Madras High Court rejects election petition filed against his victory
Madras High Court dismissed an election petition challenging the Tirupattur constituency result, where TVK candidate R. Seenivasa Sethupathy won by a single vote. Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan approved Sethupathy’s request to reject the filing made by former DMK minister K.R. Periakaruppan, leaving the narrow victory intact. The petition alleged irregularities in the counting process, but the court found no sufficient grounds to overturn the outcome.
