Many
cases of a political nature were pending in the courts against me and
my five friends between 1958 and 1968. Maharaj told me that they would
finally be settled in our favor, so I was never worried about them. At
first we were acquitted by the court, but the government appealed to
the High Court against the decision. The cases were remanded for a
review. After reviewing the cases, the Sessions Court sentenced each of
us to two years imprisonment. We appealed against the sentences.
Meanwhile
some of my relatives went to Kainchi to see Baba and asked him about
me. Baba told them that the matter would be set right when a particular
judge, who he mentioned by name, decided the case. Soon after, the
judge who was hearing the case was transferred, and another judge came
in his place. The appeal was heard in his court. The case was argued
for a full day, and then the hearing was adjourned until the following
day. I was afraid because the new judge was not the one mentioned by
Baba. The next day the hearing was postponed for an indefinite period.
It was taken up again when the judge mentioned by Baba took charge. He
gave the decision in our favor.
