Asaram bail extended: Asaram is again relieved from the Gujarat High Court. The court has extended the period of temporary bail for one month. This relief has been given on medical grounds. However, the court has also clarified that this is the last time when the bail period is being expanded.
The bench of Justice Ilesh Vora and Justice PM Rawal extended the temporary bail of Asaram for one month during the hearing. In a 2013 rape case, Asaram is serving a life sentence. Asaram (86) is on bail on the medical ground.
Court granted bail on March 28
The court first granted bail on March 28 and gave an interim expansion till 7 July before the period ended on 30 June. During the hearing in the court on Thursday, Asaram’s lawyer urged to extend the bail period by three months. However, the High Court said that it will extend the bail period for only one month and it would be a ‘final expansion’.
Temporary bail was received for the first 3 months
Asaram knocked on the door of the High Court when the interim bail given by the Supreme Court was to end on 31 March on medical grounds. The apex court had directed him that he could plead it if any expansion is needed. The bench of the High Court then gave a divided verdict, after which the case was sent to the third judge. The third judge gave him three months of temporary bail.
Sentenced to life imprisonment from Gandhinagar court
In January 2023, a court in Gandhinagar convicted Asaram in a rape case and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Asaram is also serving a life imprisonment in another case of rape with a minor girl in his ashram in Rajasthan in 2013.
