Supreme Court<\/strong>: The Court asked State of Gujarat to file an affidavit with response to it’s question as to why the trial in the rape case against the self-styled Godman Asaram Bapu was proceeding at a slow pace.\u00a0The Court has earlier, in April, asked the State to finish the trial in the matter in a time-bound manner.<\/p>\n

The State had told the Court that the trial\u00a0would very likely proceed in an expeditious manner and will be completed within 6 months and hence, there was no need to release Asaram Bapu on bail.<\/p>\n

Two separate rape cases are pending against Asaram Bapu in the States of Gujarat and Rajasthan. His son Narayan Sai is also facing trial for allegedly raping a Surat-based woman who was his father’s disciple between 2002 and 2005.<\/p>\n
