The Supreme Court Friday sought Rajasthan government's response on a plea of Asaram Bapu, facing varying jail terms including life sentence in sexual assault cases, that he be permitted to undergo treatment at an ayurvedic centre near Haridwar in Uttarakhand. The top court, however, orally observed that it was not inclined to grant interim bail by suspending self-styled Godman's sentence for two months to enable him to get “holistic” treatment of his multiple ailments of a medical centre of his choice. “Issue notice (to Rajasthan government),” a vacation bench of justices B.R. Gavai and Krishna Murari said and listed the plea for hearing on Tuesday.More Related News
