Pichumani The Madras High Court on Friday (April 10, 2026) dismissed a civil revision petition filed by Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder S. Ramadoss against the refusal of a city civil court on March 26, 2026 to order freezing of the ‘mango’ symbol during the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections 2026. Justice T.V. Thamilselvi refused to entertain the revision petition after hearing elaborate arguments advanced by senior counsel Ashok Panigrahi for Dr. Ramadoss and senior advocates N.L. Rajah as well as Chitra Sampath for the faction led by the party founder’s estranged son R. Anbumani.
