Judge: I was asked not to hear ISKCON case

BANGALORE: The hearing of a petition relating to the ownership of ISKCON branch in Bangalore took a new turn on Friday when Justice K.L. Manjunath, who is hearing the petition along with Justice Ravi Malimath, revealed in the court hall that he had received a letter asking him not to hear the matter further. The letter was sent along with a photograph showing him visiting ISKCON temple in Bangalore. The letter said he had also received a gift and therefore he should not adjudicate the disputes relating to ISKCON temple. The parties to the dispute expressed confidence in the judge and said that they wanted him to continue hearing the petition. Mr. Justice Manjunath asked them to file an affidavit to this effect and adjourned further hearing of the case.
