S. Ramadoss, the founder of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) party in Tamil Nadu, has approached the Madras High Court seeking an urgent hearing to freeze the party's mango election symbol. The first bench, led by Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari, stated that they would only consider the plea if a formal petition is filed and numbered. This request follows a March 12 interim stay issued by a single judge of the court against a civil suit filed by Ramadoss, which aimed to prevent his son, Anbumani, from using the PMK's name, flag, and symbol. Ramadoss's attempts to escalate the matter to the Supreme Court resulted in a directive to approach the jurisdictional civil court, which subsequently refused to freeze the symbol, citing potential impacts on the ongoing election process. Ramadoss's continued pursuit of the matter reflects the complexities surrounding party symbols and familial disputes in Tamil Nadu's political landscape.
