THE Exclusive Brethren says three Indian sisters have failed in an effort to bring criminal action against the sect.
In a statement, the Exclusive Brethren said the High Court in Canberra had refused to accept a writ the women tried to file today.
The writ alleged the controversial group had been involved in fraud and kidnapping.
The women, who yesterday said they were on the run from the Brethren, also claimed it was involved in money laundering and immigration fraud in New Zealand, and bribing police and members of the judiciary in India.
The Exclusive Brethren denies the allegations.
"The sisters' allegations, contained in media reports today, are absolutely refuted in every detail by the church,'' the Exclusive Brethren said in the statement issued via a Sydney-based public relations company.
"There is not the slightest vestige of truth in the claims made by the sisters, who reside in New Zealand.''
The sect said it understood the High Court refused to accept the writ on the grounds it did not properly invoke the jurisdiction of the court and was not in the correct form.

ReplyDeleteYes Perry but then we know they are about as likely to admit these things as is any crook who hopes to escape being found out .
We only need to look at the shifty experience we had with them all in the elections , to wonder just how honest their word is .
That "the statement issued via a Sydney-based public relations company." says alot doesnt it .Honesty has come so low that these people need to employ public relations companys .Should we really be surprised ? ..
Its funny how when things are so often refuted by these long thought of honest folk , that strangly things so often seem to continue to arise to get us all wondering again .
How long can sheep cry wolf before the public finally opens their eyes to see its only a rabid dog ?
Good points. Even more revealing is the last paragraph of the article:
ReplyDelete"The sect said it understood the High Court refused to accept the writ on the grounds it did not properly invoke the jurisdiction of the court and was not in the correct form."
In other words, the court refused the writ because of legal technicalities, not because there is no validity to the sisters' claims.
