New Delhi, October 3, 2024: The Supreme Court on Thursday paused a Madras High Court order that allowed police action against Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s Isha Foundation and transferred the case to itself.

The Supreme Court’s judgment came after the Isha Foundation approached the top court against a Madras High Court order, directing the Tamil Nadu government to submit details of all criminal cases registered against the foundation.

During the hearing, the Supreme Court asked the bench to file a status report and submit before it. The next hearing will take place on October 18.

The Supreme Court’s order came on a plea filed by S Kamaraj, a retired professor of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore, who had alleged that his two daughters have been brainwashed and kept hostage in the yoga centre of Isha Foundation ashram.

Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud said he spoke to Kamaraj’s daughters who said that they were living in the ashram at their own will.
