The hearing on bail plea of spiritual guru Asaram Bapu, who is in prison in a case of sexually assaulting a minor girl, will take place on Wednesday.

The hearing was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, but was put off till the next day by a Rajasthan court here.

District and Sessions Judge (Rural) of Jodhpur Manoj Vyas had put off the hearing till Wednesday to allow the prosecution argue on the bail plea, Asaram's lawyer KK Manan said.

Asaram, 72, who was arrested from his ashram in Indore in Madhya Pradesh last week, sought bail claiming that police erred in booking him under rape charge, which is non-bailable.
