The Gujarat High Court rejected Asaram Bapu's plea for temporary bail, keeping him in custody pending further proceedings.
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday turned down a petition filed by self‑styled godman Asaram Bapu seeking temporary bail. The court’s order means the accused will remain in judicial custody while his regular bail applications are considered.
The bench, hearing the matter in a criminal case, found no sufficient grounds to grant interim relief. Counsel for the petitioner argued that the bail request was necessary for medical treatment, but the judges were not convinced.
Legal experts note that the decision underscores the court’s cautious approach in high‑profile cases involving serious charges. The matter will now proceed to the regular bail hearing scheduled in the coming weeks.
The ruling was reported by Telangana Today, which highlighted the significance of the decision for the ongoing legal proceedings against Asaram Bapu.
