The Gujarat High Court refused to grant Asaram a temporary bail so he could visit his seriously ill wife.
The Gujarat High Court denied a petition filed by convicted spiritual leader Asaram Bapu seeking temporary bail to meet his ailing wife.
The bench held that the application did not meet the legal standards required for bail, given the gravity of his ongoing conviction.
Asaram, who is serving a life sentence for a 2018 sexual assault case, will remain in custody pending his regular bail hearing.
The ruling highlights the judiciary's cautious approach toward bail pleas from high‑profile inmates.
