Madras HC upholds Income Tax Dept's Rs 1.5 crore penalty on TVK chief Vijay, dismisses actor's plea challenging order

Chennai: Madras High Court on Friday dismissed a writ petition filed by actor-politician Vijay challenging an order of the Income Tax Department directing him to pay Rs 1.5 crore penalty.

The matter pertains to alleged non-disclosure of additional income derived by the top-rated star during the financial year 2015-16.

Challenging the penalty, TVK chief had filed a petition in 2022 and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy had last month reserved orders on the writ plea.
