Ramesh Pisharody steps down from AMMA ad hoc panel; court restrains panel's functioning

Actor Ramesh Pisharody has stepped down as chairman of the ad hoc committee managing the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) amid an ongoing crisis. The Ernakulam Munsiff Court has restrained the functioning of the existing panel, ruling that only a duly elected executive committee can administer the organisation. AMMA's president Shwetha Menon continues to lead the association despite announcing her resignation.
