On October 18, Advocate M. Purushottam addressed the controversy surrounding the Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, following the Supreme Court's dismissal of a Habeas Corpus petition. The petition, filed by Dr. S. Kamaraj, claimed that his two daughters, Geetha and Latha, were being held captive at the foundation in Coimbatore. Purushottam emphasized the legal implications of such allegations and the importance of ensuring personal freedoms. The court's decision reflected a lack of sufficient evidence to substantiate claims of captivity. This case has sparked discussions about the rights of individuals within spiritual organizations and the responsibility of such institutions to address concerns raised by families while maintaining their autonomy.
