JODHPUR:
The order came a week after the Supreme Court granted the 83-year-old bail on medical grounds in a separate rape case registered in Gujarat in 2013, observing that he suffered from various ailments and needed treatment.
"In order to maintain parity, we are inclined to grant interim bail to the applicant up to March 31, 2025, for his medical treatment on the same conditions imposed by the Supreme Court," a high court bench of justices Dinesh Mehta and Vinit Kumar Mathur said in its order, considering that the nature of the plea was similar to the one filed in the top court.
In August 2013, a 16-year-old girl who was staying at Asaram's Jodhpur ashram alleged that he raped her on the pretext of exorcising her from evil spirits. He was convicted by a trial court in April 2018 and sentenced to life in prison.
Then, in December 2013, two sisters in Surat alleged that Asaram and his son Narayan had raped them repeatedly.
