One hundred Israelis living abroad petition High Court after being removed from voter roll
Petitioners are asking to cast provisional ballots in the October election pending a court ruling. They say their residency status was revoked without notice or a hearing, leaving them off the voter roll and compromising their ability to vote
The Madras High Court has ordered former DMK president M K Stalin to respond to a petition filed by Tamil Nadu PWD Minister Aadhav Arjuna, seeking ₹one crore in damages for defamatory statements made against him. Justice K Govindarajan Thilakavadi also issued a notice to DMK's Information Technology wing and set a deadline for a further hearing on the application, which was filed on September 15.
The suit alleges that Stalin and the DMK IT wing published a false, malicious, and defamatory statement on June 8, 2026, through the official social media account of the DMK Information Technology Wing on X (@DMKITwing). Arjuna contends that Stalin is accountable for the publication due to his control and oversight of the party and its IT wing.
The statement in question is said to be wholly false, fabricated, and devoid of any factual basis, and was published without any verification or supporting material.
