The petitioners, on the other hand, informed the Court that Rule 35(xii) of the bye laws empowered them to take immediate disciplinary action to remove or suspend any primary member or office bearers of the party.
It was their submission that after the AIADMK party recently lost power, the conduct of the respondent had changed and he started acting against the party’s interests.
This caused damage to the name of the party, the petitioners said and therefore, they were left with no other alternative but to exercise their responsibilities as per the bye-laws and remove the respondent.
