Supreme Court Allows Withdrawal of Asaram Temporary Bail Plea, Lists Conviction Appeal for November

The Supreme Court permitted withdrawal of Asaram’s challenge to the Gujarat High Court’s refusal of temporary bail to visit his wife and deferred a separate conviction appeal until November.

Background and legal issue

The Bench was told that he was on twenty days’ parole granted in a different case. The two proceedings concern distinct convictions and applications.

Court’s reasoning and procedural position

The Court directed the Registry to obtain the trial records for the appeal and indicated that substantive questions would be heard after surrender following parole.

Legal consequence and next step

No conviction was set aside and no fresh temporary bail was granted in the withdrawn application.
