Overview

  • The Madras High Court, which issued notices Monday, asked Vijay, the Income Tax investigation wing, the Election Commission, and two returning officers to file replies.
  • The bench called the variance an irregularity, stating that more than ₹100 crore was not disclosed in one constituency.
  • The petition by Chennai voter V Vignesh cites Vijay’s Perambur affidavit at about ₹115.13 crore and his Tiruchirappalli East filing at about ₹220.15 crore.
  • The plea seeks an Income Tax probe and a public report to the returning officers before polling on April 23 so voters can judge the disclosures.
  • The court has not ruled on the merits and set a hearing next week, with any proven falsehoods risking penalties or disqualification under election law.
