News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtraThe Madras High Court has upheld a 2008 state housing allotment of an 11,854 sq ft plot in Chennai's Anna Nagar Western Extension to film star C. Joseph Vijay, now Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister.
The case was filed in 2009 by Shenoy Nagar resident R. Karthikeyan, whose late father had owned large parts of Padi village. In 1969, the state took 2.37 acres from his father there for a Housing Board scheme in Korattur.
An election petition alleging the built-up property was sold is still awaiting a verdict.
