Wondering why AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami should not be summoned and examined as a defence witness in the 2017 Kodanad estate heist-cum-murder case, especially when he is not the Chief Minister (CM) of Tamil Nadu anymore, the Madras High Court on Friday (November 15, 2024) reserved its orders on a plea to examine not only him but also former CM Jayalalithaa’s close aide V.K. Sasikala and her relatives.
