Abstract: In this continuation of cite{BK} we investigate the non-abelian Hodge correspondence on compact Sasakian manifolds with emphasis on the quasi-regular case. On quasi-regular Sasakian manifolds, we introduce the notions of quasi-regularity and regularity of basic vector bundles. These notions are useful in relating the vector bundles over a quasi-regular Sasakian manifold with the orbibundles over the orbifold defined by the orbits of the Reeb foliation of the Sasakian manifold. We note that the non-abelian Hodge correspondence on quasi-regular Sasakian manifolds gives a canonical correspondence between the semi-simple representations of the orbifold fundamental groups and the Higgs orbibundles on locally cyclic complex orbifolds admitting Hodge metrics. Under the quasi-regularity of Sasakian manifolds and vector bundles, we extend this correspondence to one between the flat bundles and the basic Higgs bundles. We also prove a Sasakian analogue of the characterization of numerically flat bundles given by Demailly, Peternell and Schneider.
