A division bench of Justices S H Vora and Mauna Bhatt heard the appeal briefly on Thursday and admitted it for final hearing. The sessions court convicted Asaram for rape, unnatural offences and wrongful confinement.
SP of Shahajahanpur Sanjay Kumar told PTI on Wednesday that three constables have been posted to provide security to the family.
Governor Kalyan Singh, who recently received Asaram's mercy plea, sent it to the Home Department seeking a detailed report on the plea.
A Surat-based woman had filed a case of rape and illegal confinement against Asaram Bapu and seven others, one of whom died during the pendency of the trial, in October 2013.
On the day the man received the threat, he said the only constable on duty was not present.
A bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and C T Ravikumar issued notice to the state government on Asaram's plea challenging the December 10, 2021 order of the Gujarat high court.
What will you do by becoming a CA? Big officers bow their head at my feet, Asaram said, according the minor's statement.
