The Madras high court on Thursday restrained Tamil Nadu youth welfare minister Udhayanidhi Stalin from making any references to former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami in the Kodanad heist-cum-murder case.
Justice RN Manjula directed Udhayanidhi against making any reference, that is defamatory or falsehood, in respect of the subject matter.
When a suit filed by Palaniswami, the plaintiff, came up for hearing, she granted an interim injunction restraining Udhayanidhi and ordered notice to him returnable by two weeks.
In his submission, Palaniswami said Udhayanidhi, while commenting further on Sanatana Dharma on September 7 had targeted him as well by making a false statement in reference to the Kodanad case and a so-called corruption case.
The leader of opposition said he was not even remotely connected to any FIR or chargesheet, nor has he ever been called for any investigation in respect of the 2017 Kodanad case. -- PTI
