The DMK moved the SC seeking urgent hearing of its plea for disqualification of 11 AIADMK MLAs, who voted against Tamil-Nadu CM Edappadi K Palaniswami in a confidence motion in 2017. A bench headed by Chief-Justice SA Bobde said it will consider listing the matter for urgent hearing. The Madras HC had in April, 2018 dismissed the DMK's plea seeking to disqualify the MLAs.
