    Summary The Madras High Court dismissed a petition by Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder Dr. S. Ramadoss seeking to freeze the party's election symbol "Mango" due to an internal leadership dispute with rival faction led by Dr. R. Anbumani. The court held that once election notifications are issued, courts cannot grant reliefs that interrupt or obstruct the ongoing electoral process, and rival factions within an unrecognized political party must resolve such disputes through civil suits rather than seeking directions against the Election Commission of India. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
