The Madras High Court on March 19 said that AIADMK could continue the election proceedings for the General Secretary post but directed that the results could not be announced. The Madras HC was hearing the petition filed on Saturday by the O Panneerselvam faction against the election to the post of AIADMK's General Secretary. The order issued by Justice K Kumaresh Babu of Madras HC said that the results of General Secretary elections should not be declared till the disposal of applications filed by Manoj Pandian and others seeking interim relief.While reacting to this, AIADMK Spokesperson Kovai Sathyan said, “The case has no relevance with AIADMK or the internal functions of the party. The traitor and rebel OPS wants to show his presence and his presence is felt only in media. He has no relevance in the cadres, public and political alley.”
