Vellore: The Kanchi Seer, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court today (Jan 10, 2005) in the 'Sankararaman Murder case', is likely to come out of jail only on Wednesday (Jan 12, 2005), according to Krishnasamy, a lawyer representing the Seer.

Talking to reporters outside the Central prison in Vellore where the Seer has been lodged since November 12 last, the advocate said he had visited the Shankaracharya this afternoon but was unable to speak to him as the Seer was observing 'silence' (mouna vrat) on account of Amavasai (new moon day) today.

Till tomorrow evening, the period is considered inauspicious.

According to Krishnasamy, copy of the Apex Court order granting bail to the Seer was yet to be received.
