The Madras High Court on Friday dismissed the MLAs disqualification case filed by DMK's R Sakkarapani against O Panneerselvam, Mafoi Pandiarajan, Aarukutty, Shanmuganathan, Manickam, Manoharan, Manoranjitham, Saravanan, Semmalai, Chinnaraj and R Nataraj, for going against the orders of the party whip.
