Kanchi seer acquitted in auditor case

Chennai

First additional sessions judge P Rajamanickam, who failed to reveal the grounds for acquittal said, “All the accused are acquitted, you are free to go.” However, as regards approver Ravi Subramanian, the judge said that the case against him would be heard separately. All the accused were present in the court including Jayendra Saraswati and a sense of jubilation prevailed the moment the judge proclaimed that they are free to go.

It may be noted that the Kanchi Acharya and the other accused were summoned in the case recently. On September 20, 2002, Radhakrishnan, a former associate of the Kanchi Mutt in Kancheepuram, was attacked with deadly weapons in which he and his wife suffered grievous injuries. The Foreshore Estate police registered a case against Jayendra Saraswati and 11 others in this regard.
