Supreme Court Rejects Asaram's Bail Plea, Will Hear Appeal After Parole
The Supreme Court dismissed Asaram's plea for temporary bail to visit his ailing wife, noting he is currently on parole in a separate rape case in Rajasthan. The court allowed withdrawal of the plea and will hear his appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's conviction and life sentence after he surrenders post-parole. Asaram, 85, is serving life sentences in two separate 2013 rape cases in Gujarat and Rajasthan, with appeals pending in both jurisdictions.
