High Court direction to trial court in Nithyananda case
In a temporary relief to Nithyananda Swamy of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam of Bidadi, near Bengaluru, the High Court of Karnataka on Thursday directed the trial court in Ramangaram district to summon medical records, statements of 32 witnesses, and the statements of actress Ranjitha in an alleged rape case against him.
Justice H. Billappa passed the order while setting aside the January 28, 2016 order of the trial court, which had rejected the plea for summoning these statements as the prosecution has not made them part of the charge sheet.
In his petition, Nithyananda had contended that the trial court erred in not summoning the statements, certain medical records, his own statements given to the investigation officer, and also the emails of a former woman devotee of the ashram who had made allegation of rape against him.
The petitioner pointed out, "Though these documents were part of the investigation, they were not submitted to the court along with the charge sheet as the prosecutor had given an opinion stating that they would not support the prosecution’s case against him". Nithyananda, the petitioner and some other accused persons, who had filed an application before the trial court seeking their discharge from the case, had requested the court to summon the documents and statements that supports some of their claims.
