Murugha Sharana Faces Legal Trouble Over Property Sale
Murugha Sharana, a former religious leader, is in trouble again.
Someone reported that he sold four pieces of land that belong to his religious organization, even though a court had said he couldn't do that.
The court has accepted the complaint, and now there will be a legal process to decide what happens next.
Murugha Sharana is already facing serious charges under a law that protects children.
The people in charge of the religious organization are trying to make sure no one sells their land illegally.
Murugha Sharana, former pontiff of Murugha Mutt, faces legal action for allegedly selling four mutt properties in violation of a court order.
The complaint was filed by Shivayogi Kalasad, president of the Murugha Mutt Administrative Committee, after receiving a report from an individual named Prakash.
The properties were allegedly sold to two individuals, Mamatha and Nalini, using a General Power of Attorney issued to M. Manjunath.
The administrative committee has accused Murughashree of ignoring court restrictions on property transactions.
Murughashree is already facing charges under the POCSO Act and has restrictions on his involvement in mutt affairs.
