Supreme Court rejects Asharam's bail plea, appeals for bail citing health reasons

New Delhi, 4 June 2021 Friday

The apex court has rejected the bail plea of ​​Asaram, who is serving a life sentence in a rape case. However, the court has also issued a notice to the Rajasthan government seeking a hearing on the plea to send Asaram to an Ayurvedic treatment center in Rajasthan or elsewhere.

The Rajasthan High Court had earlier also refused to grant bail to the apex court. Asaram had appealed to the high court for interim bail citing health reasons. He could not get relief, and his bail application was rejected. He then applied to the apex court, though from there. But they have been rejected.
