News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtraThe Madras High Court has let DMDK leader Vijaya Prabhakaran drop his 2024 election petition against Virudhunagar MP Manickam Tagore.
He said he wanted to focus on public life instead of pursuing a two-year-old case. No one came forward to take over the petition after public notices, and the judge found no sign of a deal behind the move.
Tagore had won by just 4,379 votes, and the petition had raised charges including vote-buying and irregularities in counting. The Election Commission will be told the case is closed.
