- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Madurai

EXPRESSING serious concern over the safety of data privacy of voters, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday ordered interim injunction, restraining DMK from sending OTP verification messages to enroll voters as part of its 'Oraniyil Tamil Nadu' campaign, until the issues of voters' privacy and data protection are examined.

A bench comprising Justices S.M. Subramaniam and AD Maria Clete passed the interim order on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by S. Rajkumar of Thiruppuvanam taluk in Sivaganga, seeking legal action against DMK and its functionaries for alleged unauthorised collection of Aadhaar and other personal details of individuals during the campaign.
