translation courtesy: http://sankaracharyaarticles.blogspot.com/New Delhi - Kanchi Mutt Manager Sundaresa Iyer, detained in jail under the Goonda's Act in the Sankarraman murder case, has filed a Habeas Corpus plea in the Supreme Court.
Sundaresa Iyer, arrested in the violent on murder of Sankarraman, has since been detained in jail under the Goonda's Act. He had filed a Habeas Corpus plea in High Court. This plea has been languishing in the High Court.
Sundaresa Iyer has filed a Habeas Corpus plea in the Supreme Court.
Details of that plea follow.
"The police Habeas Corpus plea I filed in High Court has been dragging out Habeas Corpus plea I filed in High Court without allowing a hearing on it.
Intentionally bringing up one motion after the other, they have been obstructing [any] hearing on this petition. At this month's end, the Court adjournment for Interim Holidays will begin. It does not appear that there is any chance of my case being heard before this. I have no other recourse but to appeal to the Supreme Court.
In order for someone to be booked under the Goonda's Act, that person has to have been recognized to be a habitual criminal. Only in those cirumstances will the Goonda's Act sustain. To have classified me as a habitual criminal is insupportable. I am going on 69 years. I have worked in Reserve Bank in a senior position to acclaim. I joined the Kanchi Matam and have been doing service to society.
Jayendrar having gotten bail in the Supreme Court, thinking that others will also get bail in the same way, that I, as one among these, was detained under the Goonda's Act is a misuse of the Goonda's Act. They have obstructed my release on bail.
The police is creating delays by throwing impediments to prevent my case coming up for hearing. The petition I filed on February 4th has not been heard for 2 months. My basic rights are being infringed upon. My High Court plea should be taken up for hearing. In the interim, I should be granted bail.
Else, the petition I filed in High Court should be ordered for immediate hearing and the judgment delivered."
This is what it says in Sundaresa Iyer's petition.
Senior lawyer Arun Jaitley plans to plea that this case be taken up immediately for hearing. It is revealed that Sundaresa Iyer's plea in High Court will be taken up the coming 16th [April]. If on this day also, police request a 2 week extension, the interim Holidays will arrive by that time.
The likelihood is that the hearing will only come up in June. This Habeas Corpus plea has been filed in Supreme Court to prevent this, with the intention of getting a decision by month's end.
