I am sorry , i should have been a bit more specific.
It in my opinion would be extremely unwise to elevate the shankaracharya to a position where the judicial system of the country would be deemed unfit to try the cases against such religious leaders.Such actions encourage other dubious leaders like premananda ,all the more recent Chaturvedi , and heck you know one can find a 100 fake swamis in this country , to lay claim to such prestiges and privilages.
Can you guess the outcome ? More shame on the religion because a so called swami can commit a crime and get away from crime.In case a crime happens , and it had the hands of a acharya behind ( lets assume they are not gods , are humans and to err is human OK ? ) , your elevation easily denies the fundamental right of the victim.
Now i guess that should be enough to make the elite of the hindu society more and more aloof from the average indian/hindu. Another form of the inhuman untouchablity.
