	Now, for trial
		The police said the motive for the murder was a series of personal allegations made by Sankararaman against Jayendra Saraswathi and his style of functioning as the mutt head.
		The Bench pointed out that the prosecution's stand, when the Madras High Court twice heard Jayendra Saraswathi's bail petitions, was that Rs.50 lakhs was withdrawn from the mutt's account in the ICICI Bank at Kancheepuram to be paid to the contract killers.
		The Bench described as "very fair" the statement of F.S. Nariman, Jayendra Saraswathi's counsel, that as long as the investigation was on the petitioner would not visit the mutt premises.

		"However, Jayendra's supposed reaction to one of the murder victim's letters (which allegedly led to his inciting a follower to arrange for the murder) was recounted as fact, whereas it is disputed that Sri Jayendra was aware of the letter at that stage.
		As to allegations of sexual harassment levelled against Jayendra, the statement that "there were so many complaints from women that the police had to constitute an all-woman team to look into the charges" was correct to the extent that the charges were being investigated by an all-woman team.
