Dhinakaran and Sasikala, to function under an interim party name and symbol, till the dispute over the use of AIADMK name and “two leaves” party symbol between the two AIADMK factions is decided by the court. Justice Palli had reserved the order on 19 February after hearing counsels appearing for Dhinakaran, Sasikala, Tamil Nadu chief minister E.K. Only the Election Commission could do so after a political group applied for registration, they argued. The present matter is part of Dhinakaran and Sasikala’s main plea, challenging a 23 November order of Election Commission.
