SC slams Madras HC for exceeding jurisdiction in the case against Isha foundation

SC’s big relief to Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

New Delhi – The father of two women residing in the ashram of Isha Foundation in Coimbatore had filed a petition in the Madras High Court alleging forced confinement of his daughters in the ashram. Based on this, the High Court ordered the Police to search the ashram, post which,150 Policemen conducted search operation. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev challenged this petition in the Supreme Court. While hearing it, the Supreme Court rejected the petition of the girls’ father, while also slamming the Madras High Court.

The court overstepped its boundaries and ordered a search on the ashram !

The SC said that the 2 women were living in the ashram at their ‘own free will’. Even after these women themselves stating the same, instead of dismissing the petition, the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction. The CJI D Y Chandrachud interacted online with the concerned women who were allegedly held captive, in his chamber. At this time, both the women told Chief Justice Chandrachud that they were living in the ashram at their own will.

What did the Madras High Court say ?

In the hearing held on September 30, the Madras High Court asked the lawyers of Jaggi Vasudev why Jaggi Vasudev was encouraging other young women to renounce the world and lead a monk’s life when he had married off his own daughter.

Editorial Perspective

Due to this decision of the Supreme Court, the anti-Hindu nature of the DMK Government in Tamil Nadu and Tamil Nadu Police has been exposed once again. Has the DMK Government ever ordered the search of madarasas or mosques in the cases of anti-national activities ?
