Sasikala had appointed Dinakaran as Deputy General Secretary before going to jail.
The general counsel also resolved to restore all those who were party office bearers appointed by Jayalalithaa. They will continue to hold office now, it said.
The council also nullified the decisions taken by Dinakaran.
The council also ratified the recent merger of the two factions led by Chief Minister K. Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam.
