SC closes proceedings against Jaggi Vasudev’s Isha Foundation

The Supreme Court on Friday closed the proceedings in a habeas corpus petition filed by a man who had alleged that his two daughters were held captive inside the premises of spiritual leader Jaggi Vasudev’s Isha Foundation at Coimbatore.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud noted that both the women were major and have stated that they were residing at the ashram voluntarily and without any coercion.
A habeas corpus petition is filed seeking direction to produce before the court a person who is missing or has been illegally detained.
The bench, also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, also noted that in pursuance of its October 3 order, the police has submitted a status report before it. The bench observed it would be unnecessary for the apex court to expand upon the ambit of these proceedings which arises from a habeas corpus petition which was initially filed before the Madras High Court.
On October 3, the top court had effectively halted the police probe into the alleged illegal confinement of two women at the Foundation’s ashram at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.
Transferring to itself the habeas corpus petition which was filed before the high court, the top court had directed the Tamil Nadu Police to not take any further action in pursuance of the high court’s direction asking it to inquire into the alleged illegal confinement of the women.
The apex court had passed the order after the Isha Foundation approached it challenging the high court’s order directing the Coimbatore Police to collect all case details registered against the Foundation and produce them before the court for further consideration.
