K Manickam was a member of the 15th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from 2016-2021 and as an ADMK MLA, he had represented the Sholavandhan constituency in the Madurai district.
He has on Thursday moved an anticipatory bail petition to the Madras High Court after the police had filed two cheating cases against him under serious charges.
The strong comments from the High Court have come when the city and several parts of the state have been issued with a red alert and a warning of extremely heavy rainfall on November 10 and 11.
They had expressed disappointment over the deferment and sieged the electoral officer's car and demand the reason for why the election has been postponed.
