The Supreme Court is considering an application by self-styled godman Asaram seeking interim bail on medical grounds. According to reports, the bench has scheduled the matter for hearing on July 21 after receiving his plea for temporary release due to health reasons. The court also directs the Rajasthan government to take appropriate steps and obtain proper information about Asaram’s current health condition, as part of its assessment of the request. Reports describe the court’s focus on ensuring that there is no adverse or “untoward” situation arising from the proceedings. The interim-bail application is presented as a medical measure rather than a final disposition of the underlying case. The hearing date indicates the court is continuing to review both the basis of the medical claim and the relevant administrative inputs related to his health status. The reports do not indicate yet what decision the court will take, only that further scrutiny and verification are underway before the next hearing.
