Madras High Court Dismisses New Petition on TVK Chief Vijay's Asset Inquiry

The Madras High Court on April 27, 2026, dismissed a new writ petition seeking an inquiry into the assets declared by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam president C. Joseph Vijay during his nomination for the Perambur Assembly elections. The First Division Bench, led by Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan, declined to entertain the petition, noting a similar case is already under consideration with a notice issued to the Income Tax department, returnable by June 3. The new petition also questions a loan extended to Vijay's estranged wife, Sangeetha.
