The 12th Assembly of Tamil Nadu was instituted after the victory of AIADMK and allies in the 2001 state assembly election. O. Panneerselvam and J. Jayalalithaa subsequently became the 13th and 14th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu respectively. Even though Jayalalithaa was the Chief Minister between 14 May and 21 September 2001, the Supreme Court of India, declared that she did not legally hold the post, due to corruption charges from her previous Chief ministership.
