Asaram moves HC challenging holding of trial in Jodhpur jail

August 05, 2015 19:46

Self-styled Godman Asaram Bapu today moved the Rajasthan high court challenging the decision of the trial court to hold the trial of a case, in which he is accused of raping a girl, in Jodhpur Central Jail.

He moved the application in the high court soon after a similar petition before the trial court was turned down. Counsel for the girl said that Asaram's counsel moved an application in the trial court in the jail before the hearing could start, objecting to the order of the court to hold the trial in the prison premises.

Judge Manoj Kumar Vyas immediately rejected the same, following which the defence moved the high court challenging the trial court's order. Asaram's counsel Nishant Boda said that they have moved the high court which is expected to take up the plea for hearing on Monday.
