The Rajasthan High Court allowed Asaram Bapu, a spiritual leader, to seek medical treatment in Maharashtra, rejecting an objection to his custodial transfer.

The Court granted him 17 days' time for medical care under proper supervision, subject to police regulations. This ruling underscores the importance of human rights and medical care for those in custody, with the Court balancing the need for legal accountability with considerations of health and welfare during detention.
