Kanchi seer files another bail plea in SC

Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati on Thursday filed another petition in the Supreme Court seeking bail in a attempt-to-murder case.

The case pertains to an attack on Radhakrishnan, a Kanchi Mutt official, in 2002.

A sessions court in Chennai on December 10 had rejected the seer's plea for bail in the Radhakrishnan assault case, maintaining that there was a prima facie case against him.

The Supreme Court, meanwhile, is scheduled to hear the seer's plea in the Shankararaman murder case on Friday.
