The Madras High Court on Monday (October 5, 2026) commenced hearing arguments on an application filed by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to reject an election petition filed by a voter, S. Dinesh, challenging his victory from the Perambur Assembly constituency this year.

Justice V. Lakshminarayanan is seized of three election petitions, including the one filed by another voter, T.N. Lakshmi Narasimhan, and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s losing candidate R.D. Shekar, filed against the Chief Minister’s victory in Perambur by a margin of 53,715 votes.

Apart from these three, one more election petition had been filed by DMK candidate S. Inigo Irudayaraj, challenging Mr. Vijay’s victory from the Tiruchi East Assembly constituency, which he had vacated after contesting and winning from both constituencies.
