Gujarat HC rejects Asaram's plea for suspension of sentence in rape case
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat High Court has rejected a plea for the suspension of sentence filed by jailed self-styled godman Asaram in a 2013 rape case, stating that there were no "exceptional grounds" to consider the application.
Asaram was sentenced to life imprisonment in the case by a Gandhinagar court in 2023.
Refusing to suspend the sentence and grant him bail, a division bench of Justices Ilesh Vora and Vimal Vyas in the order passed on Thursday observed that no case for relief was made out.
