Asaram undergoes health check-up at Ahmedabad hospital
Ahmedabad, Aug 18 (PTI) Self-styled godman Asaram, sentenced to life imprisonment in a 2013 rape case and currently out of bail, visited a hospital here on Monday for a medical check-up, as directed by the Rajasthan High Court. On August 11, the Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High court extended till August 29 the interim bail granted to Asaram, who is serving the life term for raping a minor disciple at his gurukul. While extending his interim bail, the bench had directed the authorities at the Ahmedabad civil hospital to form a panel of doctors for a detailed check-up of his health and submit a report in the court by August 27, two days prior to the expiry of bail. The panel should comprise a cardiologist and a neurologist, the HC stated in its order. 'As directed by the Rajasthan High Court, Asaram Bapu on Monday appeared before the medical board for his examination. The panel of doctors will conduct various tests on him to prepare a report about his health condition," his legal manager Vikas Khemka said. He further said 86-year-old Asaram was a heart patient and a thorough health check-up was necessary because doctors at an Indore-based hospital, where he was receiving treatment, were insisting on a by-pass surgery. The relief from the Rajasthan HC last week came after a recent extension of his interim bail by the Gujarat High Court in a similar case till August 21. On August 7, the Gujarat High Court extended till August 21 the temporary bail to Asaram, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by a Gandhinagar court in a 2013 rape case. The division bench of Justices Ilesh Vora and PM Raval extended Asaram's temporary bail till August 21 on medical grounds after observing that he was in ICU at a private hospital and his health condition was critical. While granting him temporary bail for the third time, the court noted an order passed by the Supreme Court on July 30 granting him liberty to approach the HC for temporary bail extension mainly on the ground of deterioration of his health.

Gujarat HC extends Asaram's interim medical bail till August 21
The Gujarat High Court on Thursday extended religious leader Asaram's temporary medical bail till August 21 after noting that he was in a critical condition. This was the third extension granted to the religious leader during his interim medical bail, Bar and Bench reported. A bench of Justices Ilesh J Vora and PM Raval on Thursday noted that the applicant was in an intensive care unit at a hospital in Indore and had a very high troponin level. It quoted doctors as saying that 'his condition is critical'. Asaram is serving a life sentence for raping a woman disciple at his Ahmedabad ashram between 2001 and 2006. He was convicted in January 2023 under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including rape, unnatural offences and assault with intent to outrage modesty. He is also serving a separate life term for raping a 16-year-old girl at his Rajasthan ashram. In January, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail to Asaram on medical grounds till March 31. Towards the end of his bail period, he approached the High Court, which delivered a split verdict on extending his bail. The case was referred to a third judge, who granted him three months' temporary bail till July 7. On July 3, the High Court had extended the religious leader's interim bail by 30 days but stated that this would be the final extension. However, Asaram moved the Supreme Court, which permitted him to re-apply to the High Court.

Gujarat High Court Extends Asaram Bapu's Bail In Rape Case Till August 21
Gujarat: The Gujarat High Court on Thursday extended the bail of self-proclaimed godman Asaram Bapu in a rape case till August 21 on medical grounds. Asaram has been in jail since August 2013 for allegedly raping a schoolgirl and was arrested after the 16-year-old, whose parents were both devotees, lodged a complaint with police. Two months later, Asaram and his son Narayan Sai were booked for allegedly raping two sisters at their ashram in Surat, Gujarat. Earlier in January, the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Asaram on medical grounds till the end of March in the 2013 rape case. A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and Rajesh Bindal directed that Asaram shall not attempt to tamper with the evidence, and shall not meet his followers after he is released on interim bail. Three policemen will escort Asaram, and they will not interfere in the treatment, the bench ordered. The bench noted that Asaram has various age-related health conditions and had two heart attacks."We are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner on medical grounds by the end of March. The petitioner shall not make any attempt to tamper with the evidence, shall not meet his followers," the order stated. Asaram is serving a life imprisonment sentence at Jodhpur Central Jail. Approaching the top court, Asaram has sought bail citing deteriorating health and the need for advanced medical treatment. Asaram also sought the suspension of the life imprisonment sentence imposed on him by a trial court in a rape case in Gujarat. A sessions court in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, in January 2023 convicted Asaram under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in a 2013 rape of a female disciple at a Surat Ashram. In August, while hearing an appeal against the trial court's verdict, the Gujarat High Court declined to suspend his life imprisonment sentence.
