The Madras High Court has decided not to interfere in an appeal by the Income Tax Department regarding V K Sasikala, a close aide of the late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, and her alleged benami, V S J Dinakaran. The case centers on a transaction from 2017 involving Dinakaran's sale of shares at Spectrum Mall in Perambur for ₹18 crore (approximately $2.2 million USD) to Sasikala. A show cause notice was issued to Dinakaran on November 1, 2019, under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, claiming he acted as a benamidar for Sasikala. Although the adjudicating authority did not confirm the attachment order, Dinakaran later appealed to the appellate tribunal with a significant delay of 763 days. The tribunal accepted the delay, leading to Dinakaran's current appeal against this decision. The bench, led by Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari, stated that they cannot interfere unless the tribunal's discretion was exercised on untenable grounds.
