Chennai: A Sessions court in Chennai today (Oct 14, 2005) adjourned to October 27, the hearing of the Radhakrishnan assault case, after Kanchi Seer Jayendra Saraswathi, filed a petition seeking to dispense with his appearance in the court for the day.

In the petition filed on his behalf by his advocate K S Dinakaran, the Seer said he was unable to attend the court today due to a back ailment.

Allowing the petition, the First Additional Sessions Judge A R Selvakumar adjourned the case to October 27.
