Self-styled Godman Narayan Sai on Friday urged the Gujarat High Court to grant him temporary bail to visit his ailing father, Asaram Bapu, who he said was in a critical health condition and may not survive for long.
Narayan Sai, who is convicted in a rape case, had sought temporary bail to look after his ailing father Asaram Bapu, who is also convicted in a rape case.
Justice Nisha Thakore noted that the Supreme Court has held that while meeting out humane treatment to convicts, care is to be taken to ensure that kindness to the convicts does not result in cruelty to the society.
