The petitioner, Santhanakumar, had challenged Kanimozhi's election victory in the Madras High Court last year for allegedly not showing proper income tax returns of her husband in her election nomination.
Earlier the Madras High Court had dismissed Kanimozhi's petition seeking stay for proceedings in the case, following which she moved the top court challenging the Madras High Court order.
