The Commission shot off the notice to AIADMK leader Anbazhagan on Saturday, asking why the party's recognition should not be suspended or withdrawn, a source at the poll panel said Monday.

The notice followed several complaints from the federally administered territory that the AIADMK had erected cut outs, banners, flag-posts and defaced public property in violation of the election rules.

The Commission has sought the party's reply in a week, the source added
