Madras HC Denies Injunction to Raj TV

Authority: High Court of Judicature at Madras

Order Date: 19-08-2026

Case Overview

Applicant: Mr. R. Vadivelu, Proprietor of M/s R.V. Creations, Chennai.
Respondent: M/s Raj Television Network Limited, represented by Managing Director Mr. M. Raajhendhran, Chennai.
The application (OA No. 1015 of 2025 in Commercial Division Suit No. 273 of 2025) sought an ad interim injunction to restrain the respondent from telecasting four movies – “Palaivana Cholai”, “Rajangam”, “Lottery Ticket” and “Thalaimahan” – via satellite television pending disposal of the underlying suit.
Counsel for both parties were heard. The respondent argued the matter could be sent for trial.

Final Outcome

The Court held that granting an interim injunction would not expedite the trial and that all contentious issues could be addressed during the trial.
Consequently, OA No. 1015 of 2025 was closed, and all contentions were left open for determination at the time of trial.
