India Today Television | October 6, 2017

The battle for AIADMK's two-leaves election symbol will be fought in SC as well as in the Election Commission (EC).

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court today granted time till November 10 to the Election Commission to decide the claims over the AIADMK's two-leaves election symbol by the rival factions of the party.     

The apex court also said the poll panel can go ahead with its scheduled hearing today itself.     

A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra disposed off the petition filed by T T V Dhinakaran, the deputy general secretary of a faction of the AIADMK party, challenging a Madras High Court order asking the poll panel to decide the election symbol row by October 31.
