After exam glitches and protests, Bombay High Court cancels clerk typing test

After exam glitches and protests, Bombay High Court cancels clerk typing test

DMK candidate R.D. Shekar filed an election petition, but Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay rejected it in the Madras High Court. The petition claimed that music composer S. Thaman was paid ₹10 lakh to compose the election campaign song 'Thani oruvan vedichu varaan.' However, Vijay stated that the petitioner only "reasonably learnt" this figure and provided no concrete proof, such as contracts, invoices, receipts, or other documentation.

Additionally, the petition failed to identify the source of foreign contributions or establish the impact of loans offered by Vijay to his children on the election outcome.
