Delhi HC order on symbol for Dhinakaran ‘kept in abeyance’

The Supreme Court on Wednesday “kept in abeyance” the Delhi High Court’s interim order of March 9 directing the Election Commission of India to consider giving the T.T.V. Dhinakaran group [of the AIADMK] an election symbol, preferably the ‘Pressure Cooker’. The Dhinakaran faction had rode to a thumping victory under the ‘Pressure Cooker’ symbol, a free election symbol, during the bypoll to the R.K. Nagar constituency. The Delhi High Court had also asked the poll body to permit Mr. Dhinakaran to give a political name for his faction. The Dhinakaran faction is now known as ‘Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam’ (AMMK). A Bench led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra further requested the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court to constitute a Division Bench to hear the petition filed by Mr. Dhinakaran claiming that his faction is the real AIADMK and the party symbol of ‘Two Leaves’ should go to him rather than the rival faction headed by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and the Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam. Mr. Dhinakaran had moved the Delhi High Court after the Election Commission, on November 23 last year, recognised the faction of Mr. Palaniswami and Mr. Panneerselvam as the “real” AIADMK and the rightful representatives of ‘Two Leaves’, the reserved election symbol of the party.
