HC to hear Vijay’s plea to take on file his appeal against single judge’s scathing remarks against him on Monday

The dispense with application has been listed before the third Division Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and R.N. Manjula.

A Division Bench of the Madras High Court is slated to hear on Monday a plea made by actor C. Joseph Vijay to dispense with production of a certified copy of an order passed by a single judge recently dismissing his 2012 plea against collection of entry tax by the State government for a Rolls Royce Ghost car imported by him from England. The dispense with application has been listed before the third Division Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and R.N. Manjula. Only after the Bench dispenses with the production of the certified copy, the writ appeal preferred by the actor against the single judge’s verdict would be numbered and listed for hearing before the same Bench. As per the appellate rules, every appeal filed before a Division Bench must be accompanied by a certified copy of the order passed by the single judge. If such certified copy was not available immediately, the appellants must prefer a dispense with application and obtain the permission of the court to file the appeal on the basis of the web copy.
