Justice John Michael Cunha, after hearing the arguments reserved the matter for further orders which will be pronounced on February 5.

The counsel for the complainant Lenin put forth arguments that the self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda had fled the country to escape the trial.

“Nityananda has been claiming to be in India in his exemption petitions filed before the trial court but during that time he sought asylum in Ecuador and is having a second passport,” said Lenin.
