CHENNAI: A resident of Kodungaiyur has moved the Madras high court seeking to register a cheating and money laundering case against CM-elect and founder of TVK actor Vijay for alleged suppression of financial transactions and receipt of unaccounted cash as remuneration. The first bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan, through an order dated April 8, has directed the registry to list the case for deciding its maintainability. The petitioner, M Rajkumar, wanted the court to direct the income tax department to examine the findings recorded in the search proceedings conducted at Vijay’s residence on Sept 30, 2015, and the sworn statement, the assessment proceedings, and the Rs 1.5 crore penalty order passed and initiate appropriate prosecution proceedings under the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act.
