Last year, on 11 August, the apex court had denied interim bail to Asaram in a rape case and directed Aiims to set up a medical board to ascertain his health condition before taking up his regular bail plea.
On 9 August, two days prior to the apex court judgement, the high court had rejected his bail application in the rape case. This had been the ninth regular bail application of Asaram to be rejected. An interim bail plea had also been rejected by the high court in July last year.
Asaram was arrested by Jodhpur Police on 31 August, 2013 and has been in jail since then.
A teenage girl had accused him of sexual assault at his ashram in Manai village near Jodhpur. The girl, who belonged to Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, was a student living in the ashram.
