Rajasthan High Court Orders Asaram To Surrender By Aug. 30 After Denying Bail Extension

The judges relied on an Ahmedabad Civil Hospital board finding his condition stable, not requiring hospitalisation.

Earlier this year, on January 7, the Supreme Court had granted him interim bail on medical grounds. (HT file photo)

Overview

  • A division bench of Justices Dinesh Mehta and Vineet Kumar Mathur rejected the plea after reviewing the medical board’s report.
  • The court allowed a wheelchair and an attendant inside Jodhpur Central Jail, with tests at AIIMS Jodhpur permitted if required.
  • His current interim bail in the Rajasthan case ends on Friday, with surrender set for 10 a.m. Saturday at Jodhpur Central Jail.
  • In a separate case, the Gujarat High Court extended his interim medical bail until September 3, citing earlier ICU admission and serious medical reports.
  • Asaram, 86, is serving life sentences in rape cases in Rajasthan and Gujarat, and his request to suspend the Gujarat sentence remains an ongoing matter.
