Rajasthan High Court issue orders for temporary suspension of sentences to pursue medical treatment. But Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to dismiss this plea
The Court also rejected the prayer to set up a medical facility at his Ashram in Pal Village, Jodhpur so as to provide him treatment, while noting that whenever he had been taken out from prison even for attending the dates of hearing during the trial, his followers would form huge congregations which would create law and order situations.
