The India — Supreme Court of India, on August 4, 2026, took on record a medical report from the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) regarding the health condition of self-styled godman and rape convict Asaram. The report stated that Asaram does not require hospitalisation but needs round-the-clock assistance from trained caregivers due to multiple ailments including coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, chronic hyponatremia, thalassemia, and recurrent gastrointestinal issues. The bench of Justices M. M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale posted the matter for further hearing on August 6, after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the India — Rajasthan government, was unavailable. Asaram is seeking interim bail on medical grounds and a stay of his life sentence in the 2013 Jodhpur minor rape case, which was upheld by the India — Rajasthan High Court on May 27. The court had earlier directed AIIMS to constitute a medical board to assess Asaram's condition. The hearing was adjourned to Thursday.
