The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the Madras High Court order restraining the passing of any unannounced resolutions in the meeting of the AIADMK general and executive councils concerning the issue of single leadership of the party. Meanwhile, the Madras High Court adjourned the hearing into a plea by AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam (OPS) seeking to stall the party’s July 11 General Council meet. Justice Krishnan Ramaswamy posted the matter for Thursday, for want of the Supreme Court order copy over a related case.
