Madras High Court Rejects Fresh Petition on TVK Chief Vijay's Election Affidavit

The Madras High Court on April 27, 2026, dismissed a fresh petition seeking an inquiry into Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president C. Joseph Vijay's asset declarations in his election affidavit for the Perambur Assembly constituency. The petition raised concerns over a Rs 12.60 crore loan to his estranged wife and a Rs 20 crore transfer to a private trust amid ongoing marital disputes. The court noted a similar case was already under consideration, with notices issued to the Income Tax Department, and declined to entertain the new plea.
