Gujarat High Court Issues Notice On Asaram Bapu's Plea For Extension Of Temporary Bail In Rape Case
The Gujarat High Court is considering the plea for an extension of the temporary bail granted to Asaram Bapu, who is serving a sentence in a rape case. The self-styled godman was granted temporary bail on specific grounds, likely related to his health. The High Court will now have to decide whether to extend this period of temporary release. The court's decision will be based on a careful consideration of various factors, including the latest medical reports of the convict, the arguments presented by his counsel regarding the need for continued medical treatment outside the jail, and the objections raised by the prosecution. The court will have to balance the humanitarian considerations of the convict's health with the seriousness of the crime for which he has been convicted, while also ensuring that he does not misuse his liberty.
