The Committee of Administrators (CoA) has filed a 20-page petition in the Supreme Court seeking clarification as they feel that the apex court's September 20 order is being "mischievously" misinterpreted.
On September 20, the Supreme Court passed an interim order allowing TNCA to conduct elections.
The order also stated that disqualification from contesting state body elections on completion of nine years would only be confined to office bearers.
The CoA in its submission (copy of which is with PTI) has stated that SC's order is being "erroneously construed in such a manner so as to override principal judgement dated July 18th, 2016, August 9, 2018."
