Gujarat High Court Rejects Asaram Bapu's Temporary Bail Plea in 2013 Rape Case
The Gujarat High Court rejected self-styled godman Asaram Bapu's plea for 20 days of temporary bail in his 2013 rape conviction case. Asaram sought bail citing a 20-day parole granted by the Rajasthan High Court in a separate rape case, but Gujarat authorities opposed the plea, citing lack of independent grounds. The Supreme Court had allowed Asaram to approach it if his health worsened and provided a full-time caregiver. His suspension of sentence application remains pending before the Supreme Court.
