Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra, representing Asaram, submitted his client is an 83-year-old person, and has been convicted for life imprisonment, and his bail was pending in Gujarat too. However, the top court has sought a reply from the Rajasthan government on his plea for Ayurvedic treatment.


The top court noted that it had "no expertise" to delve into the medical condition of the petitioner and declined to grant bail to Asaram for temporarily shifting him to an Ayurvedic centre. The Rajasthan High Court order dismissed his plea for temporary suspension of sentence to avail ayurvedic medical treatment. The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to examine the possibility of temporarily shifting godman Asaram Bapu to an Ayurvedic treatment centre on his plea for post-Covid recovery.Ī bench of Justices B R Gavai and Krishna Murari issued notice to the Rajasthan government on a petition filed by Asaram.
