A declared case is one the MLA listed in the sworn affidavit, as MyNeta counts them. A pending case is not a conviction.
39 of the 233 MLAs have no affidavit record we could verify as theirs (MyNeta attributes some records to the wrong candidate). Their case count is marked “not verified” and they are left out of the rankings, so one of them could rank here.

Assets and cases: the MLA's 2026 nomination affidavit as MyNeta (Association for Democratic Reforms) transcribed it, myneta.info/TamilNadu2026, used only where the record matches the winner's name, party and seat.
