Supreme Court Reserves Verdict in DURaisamy's Election Petition Against M K Stalin

The Supreme Court has reserved its decision regarding the AIADMK's Saidai S Duraisamy's plea against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin. Duraisamy alleged electoral malpractice during the 2011 Assembly polls, claiming misuse of funds and improper voter inducement. The plea was previously dismissed by the Madras High Court in 2017.

The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict in a key election petition filed by AIADMK leader Saidai S Duraisamy, challenging Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin's 2011 election win.

Duraisamy, who narrowly lost to Stalin, alleged corruption and misuse of funds in the Kolathur constituency. He accused the DMK of using money and innovative methods to illicitly sway voters.

The Madras High Court dismissed the initial petition in 2017, but the Supreme Court's decision is now eagerly awaited, as it reviews these significant electoral malpractice allegations under the Representation of the People Act.
