The Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday grantꦓed interim bail till March 31 to self-styled godman Asaram, who is serving life imprisonment in a 2013 rape case.
This comes a week after the Supreme Court granted him bail till March 31 🥃in another rape case, observing that he suffered from various ailments and needed ❀treatment.
Soon after the top court granted him relief on medical grounds, Asaram's 🌜counsels moved a suspension of s🎶entence plea in the high court.
A division bench of Justices Dinesh Mehta and Vineet Kumar Mathur granted interim bail to Asaram considering that the natu⭕re of the plea was similar to the one filed in the Supreme Court.
"We argued that the plea was similar in nature to that filed in the Supreme Court and the grounds stand valid in this case as well," ❀Asaram's counsel Nishant Bora said.
He said the conditions for Asar🎶am's interim bail are the same a🅷s those set by the apex court on January 7 except one.
"If Asaram wants to travel outside (Jodhpur), he will have to bear the expenses of the three constables who have been asked to acco෴mpany him," Bora said.
A lower court sentenced Asaram to life🍸 imprisonment in April 2018 for raping a minor at his ꧋ashram in Jodhpur in 2013.
