New Delhi, January 4: Tamil Nadu government on Tuesday filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court opposing the bail plea of Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi in the Sankararaman murder case and prepared to file appeal against the Madras High Court order granting the seer bail in Radhakrishna assault case.
The affidavit comes in response to the notices issued by the apex court, which has fixed January 6 for hearing on Jayendra Saraswathi’s petition seeking bail in the murder case.
The affidavit detailed the prosecution story levelling serious charges against the seer which was repeated twice over before the high court. The high court had on both occasions rejected the bail plea of the seer - the last time on December 8.
The Tamil Nadu police has also brought with it the entire case diary and the confessional statements recorded by it of several accused and witnesses in the murder case.
Meanwhile, the state police prepared a special leave petition challenging Monday’s high court order granting bail to Shankaracharya in the Radhakrishan assault case. The appeal is likely to be filed on Wednesday, sources said.
