Legal proceedings regarding Asaram Bapu
Overview
Asaram Bapu, currently serving life sentences for rape, has faced multiple legal setbacks regarding his requests for release on humanitarian and medical grounds.
In late September, the Gujarat High Court rejected a plea for 20 days of temporary bail intended to allow him to visit his ailing wife. The court determined there was no medical urgency for his release, though it permitted him to communicate with her via video conferencing.
By late October, the Supreme Court of India rejected a request to extend his medical parole. While the court directed him to surrender to Jodhpur Central Jail following the expiration of his parole, it instructed the Rajasthan government to ensure his medical needs are addressed. The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for November 6 to consider his appeal against his original conviction, requiring the summoning of trial court records.
