HC adjourns hearing of disqualified MLAs’ plea

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has adjourned further hearing of cases filed by 18 disqualified AIADMK MLAs to November 2, after Chief Minister E K Palaniswami's lawyers sought time and took strong exception to the MLAs coming up with fresh pleadings in their additional affidavits and rejoinders after the hearing began. Concurring with Palaniswami's lawyers, Justice K Ravichandrabaabu told senior counsel representing the disqualified MLAs that it would be appropriate to hear the case only after all written pleadings were placed before the court.
