Shankaracharya sues Govindananda Saraswati for calling him ‘fake baba’; Delhi HC responds

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi high court on Tuesday issued a notice about an interim injunction in a defamation case filed by Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati against Govindanand Saraswati. Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati filed a civil defamation suit against Govindanand Saraswati on Monday, following allegations that he is a “fake baba” and has received political backing from the Congress party. Avimukteshwaranand's lawyer argued that Govindanand made several damaging statements, including calling him a “farzi baba,” “dhongi baba,” and “chor baba.” He also said that Govindanand accused Avimukteshwaranand of serious criminal activities, including kidnapping, being a history-sheeter, stealing ₹7,000 crore worth of gold, and having illicit relationships with Sadhvis. The counsel for Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati clarified that although Govindanand Saraswati claimed there were criminal cases against Avimukteshwaranand, the only relevant case filed during the Akhilesh Yadav government was later withdrawn by the Yogi Adityanath government.
