The Madras High Court will deliver its verdict tomorrow on petitions challenging the Speaker's order accepting the resignation of the six AIADMK MLAs.
The petitions were filed by AIADMK Whip Agri Krishnamurthy and M.L. Ravi, who is the leader of the Makkal Sakthi Katchi.
AIADMK's counsel argued that the Speaker failed to conduct a meaningful inquiry before accepting the resignations shortly before the MLAs joined the TVK. Conversely, the Speaker's counsel and the resigned MLAs argued that accepting a resignation is a democratic duty and that only their constituency's voters can question their resignation.
