Vishal Defends Nadigar Sangam Term Extension in Court
The Nadigar Sangam, a group for actors, had elections delayed due to legal issues.
The current leaders' time was up, but they extended their term to finish building a new building.
A member named Nambirajan is now challenging this extension in court, saying it's against the rules and that they should hold new elections.
The court has asked the leaders, including Vishal, to explain their side.
Vishal says that elections now would delay the building's completion, so the extension is necessary.
The court is still deciding what to do.
Elections for the Nadigar Sangam were delayed from 2019 to 2022 due to legal cases.
The current office bearers' term ended in March 2024, but was extended for three years.
Member Nambirajan filed a petition in the Madras High Court challenging the extension.
Nambirajan claims the extension violates the association's rules and the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.
Vishal responded on behalf of the association, citing the ongoing building construction as the reason for the extension.
