The Second Additional District & Sessions Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing of a bail petition of Murugha Mutt seer Shivamurthy Sharana, the prime accused in a sexual abuse case involving two minor girls.

Justice B K Komala adjourned the hearing of bail plea of the seer as the public prosecutor sought one day's time to file objections for granting bail to the seer.
