Key Questions Answered

Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan accepted the dismissal petition filed by DMK MLA Raghupathi, thereby throwing out the election petition brought by Thaveka candidate Sinthamani.

DMK candidate Raghupathi secured his victory in the Thirumayam constituency with a margin of 1,492 votes during the assembly elections.

Voter Pon. Pannerselvam's petition was dismissed because he filed it through a lawyer rather than in person, making it not maintainable for a hearing.
