New Delhi:

The Supreme Court Justice Anil R Dave on Thursday denied to hear a petition on Sai Trust saying he was a formal member of the same trust and his judging the case won’t be fair. He even asked for other bench to hear the case.

After raking up a controversy over the worship of Shirdi's Sai Baba, Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati had demanded Home Ministry to probe the alleged flow of foreign funds into the bank accounts of Sai Baba supporters.

"The bank accounts and telephone records of the so-called supporters of Sai, who appear on television, should be investigated so that the entire country should know which foreign power is trying to distort the sanatan dharma and funding them. To reveal all this before public we demand the Home Minister to conduct a probe into it," the Dwaraka Peeth seer said in a conference.
