New Delhi: The Supreme Court will give its verdict on the bail application of Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati in the Sankararaman murder case on Monday (Jan 10, 2005).

The Court had yesterday reserved orders on the bail application after arguments by Shankaracharya's counsel Fali S Nariman, who had challenged some of the prosecution theories on which he was arrested in the murder of the temple official.

Prosecution counsel K T S Tulsi had opposed the bail application on various grounds and maintained that if the Shankaracharya was released, a number of mutt officials who were witness in the case may be pressurised not to speak the truth.
