Overview

• The Supreme Court of India has intervened to pause a Madras High Court order directing a police investigation into Sadhguru's Isha Foundation.
• The case stems from allegations by retired professor S Kamaraj, claiming that his daughters were coerced into staying at the Isha Yoga Centre.
• Isha Foundation has denied the allegations, asserting that the women are residing there voluntarily and have been doing so for years.
• The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, emphasized the need for judicial oversight rather than a large police presence at the ashram.
• The women involved testified virtually to the Supreme Court, confirming their voluntary stay and alleging harassment by their father.
