Chennai: Kanchi Seer Jayendra Saraswathi today (Feb 01, 2005) filed an anticipatory bail application in the Madras High Court apprehending arrest in connection with a case pertaining to tampering with records of the Mutt's accounts.

An earlier anticipatory bail application in the Thirukoshtiyur Madhavan assault case is pending with the sessions court in Chennai.

In his application, the Seer apprehended that he would be "maliciously" and involved "falsely" in the tampering of accounts case with a "ulterior motive", after he had obtained bail in two other cases.

According to the police, certain pages from the Ledger book were allegedly torn or missing and were fabricated.

A case has been registered under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 463 (forgery), 465 (punishment for forgery), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and 474 (having possession of documents knowing it to be forged).

On January 3, the Seer had obtained bail in the Radhakrishnan assault case and on January 10, the Supreme Court had granted him bail in the Sankararaman murder case.
