HC stays arrest of Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand till next hearing in sexual assault case

The Allahabad High Court has provided interim relief to Swami Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati by staying his arrest in connection with a high-profile sexual assault case. The court's intervention comes as a temporary shield for the spiritual leader, who had approached the judiciary seeking protection from coercive police action.

During the proceedings, the bench scrutinized the preliminary facts presented and decided to grant interim immunity to the seer until the matter is heard again in detail.

The case, which involves serious allegations of sexual assault of minors, had generated considerable public and media attention due to the high standing of the accused in the religious community. The Swami’s legal team argued that the charges were part of a larger controversy and lacked immediate merit for custodial interrogation.
