The Madras High Court on Tuesday expunged “offending and objectionable” remarks made by a single judge on July 8, 2021, while disposing of a 2012 writ petition filed by actor C. Vijay Joseph seeking entry tax exemption for his Rolls Royce Ghost imported from England.
Allowing a writ appeal preferred by the actor last year only to get the remarks expunged, a Division Bench of Justices Pushpa Sathyanarayana and Mohammed Shaffiq held that the “disparaging” remarks made by the single judge against the actor were “wholly unwarranted.”
