This batch of writ petitions was filed before the Madras High Court by Agri S.S. Krishnamurthy (Official Whip, AIADMK) and Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi, challenging the Tamil Nadu Speaker's acceptance of resignations tendered by several sitting MLAs (from constituencies including Perundurai, Maduranthagam, Dharapuram, Ambasamudram, Karur, and Viralimalai), which were notified as vacancies in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette in May–June 2026. The petitioners contended that the resignations were accepted illegally and in violation of the Tenth Schedule to the Constitution of India, arguing that pending disqualification petitions against these MLAs should have been adjudicated first. The petitioners sought writs of certiorari/certiorarified mandamus to quash the acceptance of resignations and the consequential vacancy notifications, and to direct the Speaker to decide the disqualification petitions within a time frame fixed by the court. The court, after examining numerous precedents, framed the central issue as a conflict between constitutional morality and political morality, and chose to uphold constitutional morality. The judgment text provided is partial and does not disclose the final operative order.
