New Delhi, February 23

In a setback to O Paneerselvam, the Supreme Court on Thursday affirmed the Madras High Court’s order allowing E Palaniswami, or EPS as he is known, to continue as the interim general secretary of the AIADMK.

“We have upheld the order of the Division Bench of the High Court, dated September 2, 2022, and made our earlier interim order permanent. We have not dealt with the matter of resolutions before the party that were being heard by the single judge. We leave it open for the said resolutions to be dealt with in accordance with law,” a Bench of Justice Dinesh Maheswari and Justice Hrishikesh Roy said.

The Bench, which had reserved the judgment on the matter on January 12, dismissed the petitions filed by O Panneerselvam. The verdict is likely to establish Palaniswami’s position as the supreme leader of the AIADMK.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
