Will Vijay get a favorable order?

Several advocate across the state have filed petitions against Vijay, director Perarasu, producer AM Rathnam and actor Bhaskar for the slanderous statement made about the lawyers in their film Sivakasi. Following this, the magistrates of several courts issued summons to all those concerned. Some courts also issued warrants against the defendants.

Vijay, Perarasu, AM Rathnam and Bhaskar had filed a petition in the High Court of Madras pleading that the case does not fall under the purview of Criminal Procedure Code. The petitioners also alleged that the magistrate courts did not issue summons to them before the warrants.

The High Court stayed all proceedings in the magistrate courts pertaining to this case and ordered the Bar Council, the Women Lawyers’ Association and High Court Advocates Association for a counter. The case is expected to be disposed on July 3rd.
