Prosecution says Siva Shankar Baba, facing multiple child sexual abuse cases, is now being treated at Govt Stanley Hospital for chest pain
The Madras High Court on Thursday ordered that C.N. Siva Shankaran, commonly known as Siva Shankar Baba, facing multiple child sexual abuse cases, can be admitted at a private hospital for specialised treatment if the government doctors are of such opinion.
Justice M. Nirmal Kumar passed the order on a petition filed by the accused seeking a direction to the police as well as Puzhal central prison officials, to admit him at a private hospital so that he could obtain treatment for multiple medical complications at his own cost.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
