18 AIADMK MLAs' disqualification upheld in HC

Ruling AIADMK government is safe for now. The Madras high court on Thursday confirmed the disqualification order passed by Tamil Nadu assembly speaker P Dhanapal, expelling 18 AIADMK rebel legislators from the assembly under the anti-defection law. The judge vacated the interim order restraining the EC from notifying by-elections to 18 constituencies.
