Plea in Madras High Court Challenges CM Vijay’s Appointment of Astrologer as OSD

A petition has been filed before the Madras High Court challenging Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s decision to appoint his astrologer as an Officer on Special Duty (OSD).

The petitioner argued that the appointment was arbitrary and lacked any valid public purpose, alleging that the astrologer was chosen merely because he had predicted the victory of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in the recent Assembly elections.

The plea contends that public appointments must comply with constitutional principles of fairness, transparency, and merit, and cannot be based on personal belief or private association.
