The New Indian Express
|February 05, 2025
THE Madras High Court on Tuesday ordered a popular Tamil bi-weekly to pay ₹25 lakh in damages to DMK treasurer and MP T R Baalu for "damaging his reputation" by publishing a defamatory article on the Sethusamudram project in 2012 without substantial proof.

However, the court refused to grant a permanent injunction, as sought, against the magazine from publishing articles about him.
"It is proven that the news items which appeared in the bi-weekly Tamil magazine 'Junior Vikatan' on 22.12.2013 are malicious and defamatory, thereby lowering the character and reputation of the plaintiff," Justice A A Nakkiran said in the order pronounced on Tuesday.
