Madras HC Dismisses Vijay's Plea Challenging Rs 1.50 Cr Income Tax Penalty

The Madras High Court on Friday dismissed a writ petition of TVK chief Vijay challenging an order of the Income Tax department directing him to pay Rs 1.50 crore penalty for alleged not-disclosure of his full income during 2015-16. 

Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy, dismissing the petition filed by Vijay, said the order imposing a



penalty was within the time limit and hence, there was no infirmity warranting interference with the order.

Hence, the petition was dismissed, the judge added. On a request made on behalf of Vijay by his counsel to grant liberty to challenge the order, the judge said it was open to the petitioner to assail the order before the appellate authority.
