Madras High Court dismisses AIADMK whip’s case against amendment to Mekedatu resolution passed by Tamil Nadu Assembly

The Madras High Court on Wednesday (September 23, 2026) dismissed a writ petition filed by All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) whip Agri S.S. Krishnamurthy, who had challenged an amendment to a resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on June 19, 2026 , against the proposed construction of Mekedatu dam across the Cauvery river by the Karnataka government.

The First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan rejected the case after Advocate General (A-G) Vijay Narayan played video clips of the Assembly proceedings to prove that it was, in fact, the amended resolution that was put to vote in the House by Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar and passed uananimously, after no Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) raised any objections.
