The Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court is scheduled to address the divorce petition involving Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and his wife Sangeetha on Monday. Sangeetha initiated the legal process, citing marital differences and alleging mental harassment, including Vijay’s alleged extramarital involvement with a film actress. She is seeking a divorce decree, maintenance reflecting Vijay’s social standing, and the right to stay in their Neelankarai home.
The case was previously before the Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court, which postponed proceedings due to the absence of both Vijay and Sangeetha. Their legal representatives attended the hearing, explaining that the couple’s public status raised security concerns, requesting video conferencing for future sessions.
Acknowledging these concerns, the court rescheduled the hearing for June 15. This hearing is significant as it follows Vijay’s recent assumption of office as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister. Speculation surrounds whether he will appear in person or virtually, contingent on court approval.
The ongoing proceedings have captured public interest, especially among Vijay’s supporters and political circles, amid rumors of reconciliation efforts. While neither party has addressed these rumors publicly, online discussions on a potential reunion have surfaced.
As the case reopens, all eyes are on the court for insights into the couple’s future. The hearing is anticipated to draw attention from supporters, the public, and the media, given the high-profile nature of the case and Vijay’s role as Chief Minister.
