The Trincomalee District Court has issued an enjoining order restraining office bearers of Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kadchi (ITAK) from holding the National Convention, originally scheduled for February 19.

This decision follows a plaint filed by plaintiff Chandrasekaram Para, an ITAK member, challenging the election of the newly elected leader of ITAK due to alleged irregularities during the election process. The enjoining order, effective until February 29, halts the convention.

Named defendants include Mavai Senathirajah, S. Sritharan, P. Sathiyalingam, S. Kugathasan, S.X. Kulanayagam, M.A. Sumanthiran, and S. Yogeshwaran.

Moreover, the plaintiff seeks to halt the implementation of any decisions made during the purported General Council meetings held on January 21, 2024, and January 27, 2024. Attorney-at-law Ishwarya Sivakumar represents the plaintiff in this matter.
