What happened in the High Court? The judgment comes nearly eight years after the Special POCSO Court convicted Asaram for sexually assaulting a minor girl and sentenced him to life imprisonment. The prosecution case arose from allegations made by a minor girl who accused Asaram of sexually assaulting her at his ashram. Aggrieved by the conviction and sentence, the accused persons approached the High Court through separate criminal appeals. Upon examining the evidence and findings of the trial court, the High Court undertook a charge-wise assessment of the prosecution case.
