Madras High Court dismisses Stalin’s challenge to Kolathur defeat, says remedy

Madras High Court dismisses Stalin’s challenge to Kolathur defeat, says remedy lies in election petition. A Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan dismissed the petition as not maintainable. They said it was barred by Article 329(b) of the Constitution read with Section 80 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

Why it matters. This ruling upholds constitutional boundaries regarding how election disputes must be legally contested in India.
