The Supreme Court will hear a case filed against the Tamil National Alliance election manifesto, later this month.
The decision was taken after when summoned to court today, the TNA failed to argue why the case filed against the manifesto was illegitimate.
After hearing the TNA objections, the court decided that there was enough grounds to go ahead with the case against the manifesto, and gave the TNA until the 23rd of October to file further objections.
