The Madras High Court on Tuesday said there is no action against AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran and 16 others in the sedition case for anti-government pamphlets till October 24.
On October 2, VK Sasikala's nephew TTV Dhinakaran has been booked for sedition under Section 142A of IPC by the Tamil Nadu police.

A FIR was filed against Dhinakaran as well as his supporters for distributing pamphlets criticising the Tamil Nadu government as well as the Centre.

The pamphlets, that took on E Palaniswami-led state government, highlighting its failure and raising an issue against the current leadership, were distributed in Salem district by cadres supporting Dhinakaran.
