The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted regular bail to Sanjay @ Fauji, son-in-law of self-styled godman Rampal, in the 2014 Satlok Ashram violence case. The court noted that all 49 material witnesses had been examined and that co-accused, including Rampal himself, were already on bail. Sanjay had been in custody for four years and 21 days. The case stems from a November 2014 clash when police attempted to arrest Rampal. Over 100 police personnel were injured as 1,500-2,000 armed followers resisted, using guns, petrol bombs, and stones. Sanjay, an ex-serviceman, was accused of training followers. The prosecution argued he influenced witnesses, but the high court applied the 'bail is the rule' principle under UAPA.
