Madurai Adheenam's new head Nithyananda and the incumbent Arunagirinatha Gnanasambanda Desikar hailed the dismissal of a habeas corpus plea and public interest litigation filed in the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court as a “victory for justice.”
Addressing a press conference at the mutt here on Thursday, the pontiffs said that the court had clearly said that it was a petition to gain “cheap publicity.” The petitioner, M Solaikannan of the Hindu Makkal Katchi had alleged that Nithyananda had used illegal means to take the present pontiff Arunagirinathar under his custody. Similarly, a habeas corpus plea was filed by T. Gurusamy Desigar seeking the release of the senior mutt head from the clutches of Nithyananda and his disciples.
Sole prerogative
Responding to a question on Kanchi Sankaracharya's allegations that Nityananda was not qualified to become the successor of Madurai Adheenam as he has involved in a scandal, Arunagirinathar responded that “As head of the Adheenam I have the sole prerogative to choose my successor.”
Nityananda said that he would run the Adheenam without overhead costs and was ready to bring the mutt under the purview of Right to Information Act. He said that counter cases for defamation would be filed against the petitioners.

Justice upheld.His Holiness Srila Paramahamsa Nithyananda Desika Paramacharya the 293rd Guru Maha Sannidanam is perfectly right in saying ,He has to go for defamation suit to restrict the irresponsible comments from socially responsible public and people expressing their veiws without factual confirmation with the concerned.Few people should learn their lessons by suffering ,only then they will learn and set example to others too.No one other than the current 293rd Guru Maha Sannidanam can administer Madurai Aadeenam better and justly.He is least bothered about the name,fame or wealth to be gained by this position.Madurai Aadeenam will be under best administration totally transparent and reach heights never reached before.
hardy before the mouth of the Adheenam would have dried up after his
declaration that Mr Nityananda is beyond any court proceedings and he
will never attend a court, Mr Niyananda has declared that he would sue
all his oposers in the court of law. His election was a closed door
affair without any transparency and any one is free to form his or her
opinion the way in which he captured that post and free to express his
opinion., because it is not his private life that is beyond any one's
purview, but it is his public life that can be scrutinized and
commented by any one in a free country like India. If there is no such
freedom then our freedom of speech is a farce.
