Bangalore, April 09: A sessions court today posted to April 12 the hearing of anticipatory bail application of self- styled godman Nityananda Swami, embroiled in a sex scandal.
When the matter came up, Judge Hungund of Ramanagaram Sessions Court near here adjourned the hearing to April 12.
Nityananda is facing criminal charges, including rape.
In a related development, Karnataka High Court has adjourned hearing of Nityananda’s petition praying for quashing of the criminal cases filed against him to April 15.
