# SC denies Asaram bail, orders speedy hearing for son’s appeal 2026-08-07T05:40:48+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court has denied interim medical bail to 86-year-old Asaram, who is serving a life sentence for sexually assaulting a minor, but allowed him a trained caretaker of his choice around the clock in Jodhpur Central Jail. The order followed an AIIMS report recommending constant monitoring for his multiple ailments, without advising hospitalisation. The court said he could return if his condition worsened. In a separate order, the court asked the Gujarat High Court to decide the rape conviction appeal of Asaram’s son, Narayan Sai, within three months. Sai has been in Surat jail for more than 12 years after receiving a life sentence for raping two women. The Supreme Court directed both sides to cooperate with the early hearing. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: AIIMS, Asaram, Bail, Rajasthan, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supreme-court-denies-asaram-interim-bail-permits-round-the-clock-caretaker/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
