Tamil Nadu CM Vijay’s assets row: ‘ ₹30 crore not disclosed, will it matter to voters?’ — All about case in Madras HC
The Madras High Court questioned whether non-disclosure of assets worth ₹30 crore by Chief Minister Joseph Vijay in his election nomination papers would amount to “corrupt practice.”
The Madras High Court heard a case on Wednesday concerning allegations that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay had not disclosed assets worth ₹30 crore in his election nomination papers. Justice V Lakshminarayanan questioned whether this missing amount could be considered corrupt practice and if it would impact voters in Perambur constituency.
The case was filed by voter S Dinesh who claimed discrepancies in Vijay's financial disclosures, including land and property purchases. Vijay's counsel argued the allegations were based on conjecture and lacked material particulars to challenge the election result. The judge raised doubts about whether Vijay or a Chartered Accountant prepared the asset list and questioned whether non-disclosure of the assets would have influenced voters who already supported him.
