Indian courts rule on bail and detention in several high‑profile cases
High Court, Meghalaya High Court and Supreme Court issued rulings on the custody and bail of Dominic and Genevieve Hadeed, Ms. Raghuvanshi and preacher Asaram.
According to gdelt, Dominic Hadeed and his wife Genevieve will remain in custody after a High Court judge dismissed their bid to be released. The same source reported that the judge ruled the Preventive Detention Orders issued against the Hadeeds during the State of Emergency were lawful and said the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court endures throughout a State of Emergency. Gdelt also noted that the Hadeeds were arrested last Wednesday as police investigated intelligence alleging a conspiracy to assassinate senior members of the Government, including the Prime Minister.
The Hindu reported that on June 29 the Meghalaya High Court upheld an order of a Shillong trial court granting bail to Ms. Raghuvanshi. The bail was granted on the ground that the police had failed to effectively communicate the grounds of Ms. Raghuvanshi's arrest.
The Quint reported that the Supreme Court declined to grant bail to Asaram, who is serving a life sentence for the rape of a minor at his Jodhpur ashram in 2013. The court also issued notice to the Rajasthan government seeking its response to Asaram’s plea challenging the Rajasthan High Court’s judgment, and stated that any consideration for bail would depend on the presence of a grave medical necessity threatening his life. On 30 June 2026 the Supreme Court bench issued notice to the Rajasthan government, refused to suspend Asaram’s sentence, and indicated that only an urgent and serious health risk could justify interim relief.
