casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: The Supreme Court heard Pattali Makkal Katchi's special leave petition challenging a Madras High Court order regarding symbol allocation between rival groups of an unrecognized political party. The Court upheld the High Court's position that the Election Commission lacks jurisdiction over such internal party disputes and disposed of the petition, directing the petitioner to file an appropriate application before the Civil Court by 24.03.2026, which must be decided within three days. No opinion on merits was expressed, preserving all contentions for civil court determination. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
