AIADMK says HC verdict not a setback since court agreed on its contentions

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: Though many perceived the Madras High Court’s verdict on Wednesday, allowing ECI to inquire into the representations submitted by individuals regarding AIADMK’s intra-party affairs, as a setback for the party, its senior leader and former law minister C Ve Shanmugam said it was not a setback since the court had agreed on its contentions. Addressing the media, he told reporters that AIADMK’s argument in the case was that the ECI should decide whether it had powers to inquire into the internal affairs of a political party. “Accordingly, the HC today directed the ECI to decide whether it has the power to inquire into the internal affairs of the party before starting its inquiry. He said the Commission has the power to decide whether a political party is registered in accordance with the Constitution.
