The Madras High Court has granted permission to the Tamil Nadu government to withdraw two writ appeals filed during the previous AIADMK administration in 2019 against Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan. Justices R. Suresh Kumar and K. Kumaresh Babu emphasized that the court cannot compel a litigant to pursue a case if they choose to abandon it midway without reserving any rights. This decision marks a significant development in legal proceedings concerning the state government.
