The Madras High Court has adjourned its verdict to October 14 on the petition filed by Chief Minister Vijay seeking the dismissal of the election petition against his Perambur constituency victory.
The petitioner Dinesh alleged that Chief Minister Vijay failed to disclose details about agricultural land worth 30 crore rupees purchased in Panrutti and that 50 cents of land in Kodaikanal is government poramboke land, arguing that concealing asset details constitutes a corrupt practice.
Counsel for Chief Minister Vijay argued that all information was fully disclosed in the nomination paper without any concealment, that previous rulings on concealment impacting voters pertained to criminal cases, and that because Vijay is widely known as a wealthy person, an alleged property omission would not influence voters.
