Isha Foundation only promoting govt.’s Krishi Aranya Protsaha Yojane of 2011 by mobilising farmers: State The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday asked Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev’s Isha Foundation to spell out the amount collected so far for their ‘Cauvery Calling’ project, besides questioning whether the foundation was authorised to collect funds for the project. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Hemant Chandangoudar directed the foundation to file its additional statements as the earlier statement filed did not contain details like the manner of fund collection and whether the contribution towards Cauvery Calling was voluntary or not. As the statement filed by the foundation did not contain the name of the ‘authorised signatory’, the Bench said that law mandates disclosure of details of persons filling statements before the court and orally observed that “even spiritual organisations are bound by law”.
