The Rajasthan High Court upheld Asaram Bapu’s life sentence for raping a minor, rejecting his appeal while affirming the trial court’s 2018 judgment. It granted relief by dropping gangrape charges but still ordered him to surrender despite medical bail.
The Karnataka High Court today reserved its order on the plea to cancel the bail granted to Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Revanna, accused of abducting a woman. Justice M Nagaprasanna expressed concern over the severity of the case and remarked that bail should not have been granted. The court heard arguments from both sides and reserved its decision.
