New Delhi: The Gujarat High Court asked the Union government on Monday, June 26 to use every provision it can to extradite two women to India who were allegedly illegally confined by self-styled godman Nithyananda in 2019.“Invoke whatever [provisions] you can in order to bring them here,” a bench headed by Justice Umesh Trivedi said according to the Times of India while deciding a habeas corpus petition filed by the women’s father in November 2019 seeking their custody.Their father alleged in the petition that Nithyananda forced his daughters to travel outside India, a report by Scroll.in said.According to TOI, the two women, Lopamudra Janardhana Sharma (24 or 25 years old) and Nandhita (21 or 22 years old) are currently living in Jamaica.In January this year, the high court admonished the Union home ministry’s failure to extradite the two women.“Even as the same [petition] comes up for consideration today after [a] long drawn time, nothing has yielded,” a bench comprising Justices N.V. Anjaria and Niral R. Mehta observed, Scroll.in reported.In February this year, according to reports by the Times and Ahmedabad Mirror, the women said that they were willing to appear in court via video call from Jamaica, but asked the court to first consider their objection that it did not have the jurisdiction to entertain their father’s petition.On June 26, the court alleged that a “guilty mind” was behind the women’s apprehension to appear in court and scheduled its next hearing for the first week of July, the Times reported.Self-styled godman Nithyananda has been accused of rape, kidnapping and wrongful abduction.
