How can ECI render case against byelections to five Tamil Nadu constituencies infructuous, wonders CM Vijay’s counsel
Senior counsel G. Masilamani, appearing for Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s government, asked the Supreme Court how the Election Commission could make its case against holding by‑polls in five Tamil Nadu assembly seats ineffective. The petition challenges the commission’s decision to postpone elections in Tiruchi East, Perundurai, Ambasamudram, Viralimalai and Karur, and was heard by Justices Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and G. Arul Murugan.
