An apex court bench headed by Justice TS Thakur directed the principal of Jodhpur-based SN Medical College to constitute a team of doctors that will examine Asaram for his ailment and the course of treatment required. The court said the report of the medical board will be submitted to it by 23 September, when the matter will be further heard. Meanwhile, Asaram Bapu will continue to remain in jail as the court said that his bail will only be considered after all the witnesses in the case have deposed before the trial court. IANS
