Bengaluru: A non-bailable warrant has been issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court (CJMC), Ramnagara after controversial, self-styled godman Nithyananda Paramahamsa failed to attend the hearing of a ‘committable session’ that was held on Monday. The court has directed the police to execute the non-bailable warrant by August 7, against Nithyananda and five others.

As per the High Court directive, Nithyanda and the others were supposed to attend and file an exemption application on Monday. The prosecution opposed that application and filed an objection. After considering the objection filed by the prosecution, “the court rejected the exemption application filed by Nithyananda’s advocate and issued a non-bailable warrant against the godman and five others,” said public prosecutor, K. Gopal Rao.

Nithyananda had made an appeal to the High Court stating that he was not able to commit the offence he had been accused of. The court had instructed that he undergo a ‘potency’ test to prove this claim. The court had also issued directions to the CID that Nithyananda should cooperate with the CID police and undergo a medical check-up.

The CID officials had issued a notice to Nithyanda on Saturday to present himself for a potency test, but there was no reply from him, said sources from the CID.

A sexual abuse complaint was registered against Nithyananda in the year 2012 when an NRI alleged that she was repeatedly raped during her stay of five years in Nithyananda’s ashram and was threatened with dire consequences if she disclosed the fact publicly.

The then-Karnataka Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda in June 2012 had ordered the arrest of Nithyananda after several of his followers appeared on private Kannada TV news channels and accused the godman of exploiting them sexually. Cases of rape and unnatural sex were registered against the godman and five others in Bidadi police station.

Non-bailable warrant against Nithyananda

Ramanagaram court took the step after the godman skipped a hearing

A Ramanagaram court on Monday issued a non-bailable warrant against self-proclaimed godman Nithyananda.

Nithyananda has to undergo a potency test following a complaint of rape against him by one of his followers. Last Wednesday, the Karnataka High Court had given the nod for the test and had also instructed the CID to take the godman into custody if he does not co-operate.

The Ramanagaram court has summoned him on August 6 for the test.

On Monday, the godman failed to appear in the Ramanagaram court for a hearing in connection with the case. He is presently in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Instead, he sent his lawyer to seek exemption from personal appearance.

Seeing this, the Ramanagaram court fixed the next hearing on August 7 and also issued a non-bailable warrant against Nithyananda to ensure that he turns up for the test.

அந்த மனு கடந்த 16ம் தேதி உயர் நீதிமன்றத்தில் விசாரணைக்கு வந்தது.  நித்யானந்தாவிடம் ஆண்மை பரிசோதனை செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று போலீசார் விரும்பினால், அதை செய்யலாம். அதற்கு நித்யானந்தா ஒத்துழைப்பு கொடுக்க மறுத்தால் கைது செய்து பரிசோதனை செய்ய போலீசாருக்கு அனுமதி வழங்குவதாக தீர்ப்பில் கூறியது. அதை எதிர்த்து மீண்டும் நித்யானந்தா உயர் நீதிமன்றத்தில் மேல்முறையீடு செய்தார். டிவிஷன் பெஞ்ச் அந்த மனுவை தள்ளுபடி செய்து கடந்த 25ம் தேதி உத்தரவிட்டது.
