Kailash-bound Nithya may skip potency test

Swami Nithyananda is at it again. He is now trying to avoid the potency test despite a court order directing him to undergo the same on July 30. He has filed a petition in the Ramanagaram court expressing his inability to subject himself to the test and sought a fresh date.   In his petition, Nithyananda has said he is travelling to Kailash Manas Sarovar on the day. CID authorities have decided to file an objection. A CID officer told Bangalore Mirror it’s a ploy employed by him (Nithyananda) to skip the test.   “The CID will be filing its objections in the court in a day or two asking the court not to consider alternative dates,” said an official.   The court hearing Nithyananda’s case had recently given CID the go-ahead for carrying out medical and voice tests on him after the investigating agency said they were crucial for investigations and that Nithyananda had been avoiding them despite repeated notices.   Victoria Hospital top-brass had been asked to set up a medical board to conduct medical and voice tests and set a date for conducting them. A team of five doctors was formed and July 30 fixed as the date. Experts, however, said Nithyananda can move higher courts if the CID’s plea prevails in the Ramanagaram court. “He can move the High Court or Supreme Court. If the grounds are genuine, then he will get relaxation,” said a legal expert. But the CID officials are confident the test will happen next Monday. “The grounds are strong as he (Nithyananda) has been repeatedly turning down CID summons for the medical test,” said an official.   http://www.bangaloremirror.com/article   /10/2012072620120726010717548f26a9086/Kailashbound-Nithya-may-skip-potency-test.html
