JUDGMENT
This suit has been filed for the following reliefs :
a) Granting Permanent injunction restraining the Defendants from
convening any General Council Meeting either on 23.06.2022 or any other
subsequent dates till the disputes are resolved or settled amicably.
b) granting permanent injunction restraining the Respondents in
placing any agenda in the meeting of the General Council of the Central
organization of the 1st Respondent to be held on 23.06.2022 or any other
date with respect to the amendment of Rule-20A 1 to 13 of the 1st
Respondent Political Party.
2. On a perusal of the plaint, it appears that the main grievance of the
plaintiff is with regard the General Council Meeting scheduled on
23.06.2022, which is already over. It is to be noted that for similar prayer
suits in C.S.Nos.102 of 2022, 106 of 2022 and 111 of 2022 and various
applications have been filed challenging the resolutions, which went up to
the Honourable Supreme Court in Civil Appeal Nos.1393, 1394, 1395, 1396
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
to 1397 of 2023. The Apex Court by the Judgment dated 23.02.2023,
dismissed the appeals. It is also relevant to note that subsequently the
General Council Meeting has been convened. Therefore, suit seeking relief
of injunction restraining such meeting is automatically become infructuous.
4. Accordingly, the suit is dismissed as infructuous. Consequently,
connected applications are closed. No costs.
