The Madras High Court has appointed Justice A K Rajan, former Judge of the High Court, as Receiver to take charge and administer Tamil Film Producer's Council,to maintain accounts and take care of day-to-day activities till fresh election is held and new office bearers take charge.
Justice S.Tamilvannan gave the order on a batch of applications filed by two rival members of Council including S.Thanu and A Kothandaramaiah.
The judge said he was giving this order in view of the detailed report filed by the Judge-Commissioner, pursuant to the no-confidence motion passed against office-bearers of the Council. "Hence, it will not be proper to entrust the duty of conducting election to the said office bearers."
He said Justice Rajan shall regulate and conduct fresh election for the Council as per its bye-laws by following principles of natural justice within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and submit a report.
The court passed the order going by several civil suits and applications and several rounds of litigations filed by the rival groups of the council.
