Friday February 11 2005 12:25 IST
PTICHENNAI: Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi was granted anticipatory bail in the account tampering case by the Madras High Court on Friday.
The seer had apprehended arrest in the case relating to alleged tampering of the accounts of the Kanchi mutt.
Granting the anticipatory bail, Justice M Thanikachalam directed the seer to report to the police as and when required in the case.
The judge observed that as on date the materials collected by the prosecution were not sufficient to include in the petitioner in the case. "However, the apprehension still remained and hence I am granting anticipatory bail," he said.
When the petition came up for hearing, the Tamil Nadu public prosecutor, K Doraisamy, submitted that the investigations up to the current stage did not connect the Shankaracharya with the crime.
Following this submission, the judge granted the advance bail.
