Stalin files Kolathur election petition against TVK win

The official August 24 update says M.K. Stalin moved the Madras High Court challenging TVK candidate V.S. Babu's victory from Kolathur, citing alleged EVM and VVPAT irregularities and seeking a recount. TVK Tracker treats this as a legal challenge to be followed through court records, not as proof that the result was wrong. The petition matters because Kolathur had been Stalin's long-running constituency and the reported margin was 8,795 votes. The next evidence is the petition copy, registry status, notices to respondents, ECI or returning officer records, any recount order, and the final judgment. Until then, the election result remains the official public baseline.
