SINGAPORE: The High Court has thrown out the exorcism case against the priests and volunteers at Novena Church, after a trial spanning two years.

In a 61-page judgement on Friday, Justice Lee Seiu Kin held that Madam Amutha Valli Krishnan had not proved her case against the defendants for assault and battery, false imprisonment and negligence.

He accepted the defendants’ version of events on the night of 10 August 2004 and found the contradictory parts of Madam Amutha Valli’s evidence to be false.

Justice Lee also ruled that he did not find the actions of the priests had caused Madam Amutha Valli to suffer any damage.

In her statement of claim, Madam Amutha Valli had claimed special and aggravated damages.

Justice Lee also held, based on doctors’ evidence, that Madam Amutha Valli did not suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the events at the church.

The case was heard over two periods at the Supreme Court, in October and November 2007 and in June and July last year, and received much public attention.
