“You're Not Even In India”: Madras High Court Dismisses Nithyananda's Plea For Appointment As Madathipathi In Three Mutts

Live Law  

The Madras High Court, on Friday, dismissed an appeal filed by Swami Nithyananda seeking to be appointed as the Madathipathi or Head of three Mutts - Sri Somanatha Swami Temple & Mutt at Thiruvarur, Sri Arunachala Gnanadesikar Swami Temple & Mutt at Vedaranyam, and Sri Po.Ka.Sathukal Madam at Vedaranyam. Nithyananda had submitted that he was nominated by Sri Swami Athamanada, earlier Madathipathi to administer and control the Mutts and the nomination deed was also presented before the Sub-Registrar for registration. The department, on the other hand, submitted that all the Mutt properties would come within the purview of the HR & CE Act and thus, the contention raised by Nithyananda was not legally sustainable. Finding force in the department's arguments, the single judge had observed that the nomination in favour of Nithyananda was invalid due to the cancellation of power vested to earlier Madathipathi.
