The Gujarat High Court has ordered a 5 -day temporary bail to Narayan Sai, son of rape and self -proclaimed saint Asaram on Thursday (September 18). The court has given this relief to meet his ailing mother.

Narayan Sai is currently serving life imprisonment in Lajpor Jail in Surat. He argued in court that he met his mother for the last time in February 2021. Now his mother is struggling with serious heart disease and permission was sought to meet him due to the deteriorating situation.

Government and victim side protested

However, the state government and the victim’s lawyer opposed this petition. He said that there is no such concrete medical evidence in the record, which can prove that the mother’s condition is critical.

Despite this, the court decided to grant temporary bail after hearing the arguments of both the parties and considering the period spent in Sai’s jail.

Bail with strict conditions

Even after getting bail, Sai will have to follow several conditions. It has been said in the order that in a period of 5 days, he will remain only at his mother’s house in Ahmedabad and all this will be under police supervision. He will not be allowed to go somewhere else.

The court also clarified that it would not meet his followers or father Asaram’s followers in the group during this period.

Judge Ilesh Vora said in the order that Narayan Sai will be taken back to Lajpor Jail in Surat as soon as the bail period is over. The court has directed the administration to return it to jail without any delay after the completion of the period of 5 days.

Significantly, both Asaram and his son Narayan Sai have been convicted in rape cases and are currently serving sentence. This order of the court is currently given only on humanitarian grounds, so that Sai can meet his mother.

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.

Asaram bail: The Gujarat High Court on Friday (June 27) gave a big relief to Asaram in the 2013 rape case. His temporary bail extended till 7 July. In this case, he is serving a sentence of life imprisonment.

A division bench of Justices Ilesh Vora and Sandeep Bhatt extended the temporary bail of Asaram from three months during the hearing of the petition, which was earlier given on 28 March. Its duration is ending on 30 June.

What did the lawyer say?

Asaram (86) is on bail on health basis. The bail period has been extended so that his lawyer can submit the necessary documents in the petition. The next hearing on the case will be held on July 2.

Asaram’s counsel, while demanding a few days’ deferment to submit the documents, claimed that 10 days were wasted due to the process of getting the order from the Jodhpur High Court after the court was given temporary bail on March 28 and Asaram was released on April 7.

He said, “So I request to give two days time so that if the matter is heard on Monday, I can keep the documents on record and they (defendants) can also verify it.”

What did the court say?

The court said in its order that “Keeping in mind the process of obtaining a certificate from the specific facts of the current case, especially Nalsa (National Legal Services Authority), we are extending temporary bail till July 7.”

On March 28, the High Court granted Asaram temporary bail for three months as the interim bail given to him by the Supreme Court was ending on 31 March. A division bench of the High Court had given a divided verdict after which the case was sent to the third judge, who ruled in favor of giving Asaram a three -month temporary bail.

In January 2023, a court in Gandhinagar sentenced Asaram to life imprisonment in the rape case. Asaram is also serving a life sentence in another case of sexual abuse of a minor girl in his ashram in Rajasthan in 2013. In the current case, she was convicted of raping a female follower from Surat several times between 2001 and 2006.

Asaram gets bail: The Gujarat High Court has given great relief to the rape convict Asaram. On medical basis, the Gujarat High Court has granted Asaram bail of three months. During the hearing, Justice AS Supehia supported Justice Ilesh Vora’s opinion and Asaram’s three -month bail was approved.

Significantly, Asaram, convicted of rape, is serving sentence in Gujarat and Jodhpur. At the moment, he is out on interim bail. Recently he applied for 6 months permanent bail. The Gujarat High Court heard this petition and reserved the verdict on Thursday (March 27).

Medical report was shown for bail
Asaram presented his medical report in the court demanding bail. During this time he said that he is 86 years old and there are very few people in the world who are able to bear major surgery after the age of 75.

Heart attack has come while in jail
Earlier in January 2025, Asaram was granted bail by the Supreme Court on the medical ground till 31 March. For information, let us know that Asaram is serving a jail sentence till his last breath in the case of rape with a girl from his Gurukul. This case is of the year 2013. It is being told that Asaram is a heart patient and he has also had a heart attack while in jail.

Asaram’s son also in jail
The victim’s sister had also filed a rape case against Asaram’s son Narayan Sai. In 2019, Narayan Sai was also found guilty and the court sentenced him to life imprisonment. This case was also of the year 2013.
