LiveLaw's report, published 5 August 2026, on the Rajasthan High Court's order of 3 August 2026 (Asha Ram v State of Rajasthan and Ors, 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 318) granting Asaram Bapu his first regular parole, 20 days, in the Jodhpur minor rape case for which he is serving life imprisonment. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and Justice Sanjeet Purohit rejected the state's grounds for denying parole as "misleading and figments of imagination without any basis," noting that Asaram had by then served over 13 years in custody with no record of misusing bail, evading process, intimidating witnesses or causing law and order problems during earlier periods of interim release.
