The DMK Legal Wing has served the notices to State's Transport Minister Senthil Balaji, Chief Secretary Sheela Balaakrishnan and Managing Director of Metropolitan Transport Corporation among others.
The M Karunanidhi led party has also petitioned the Election Commission to derecognise AIADMK for violating model code of conduct in the Yercaud Assemby bypoll.
It also urged the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau to initiate steps against those named in its complaint under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

The action amounted to misuse and abusing the official position as public servant and also a criminal misconduct, it charged.
