The Supreme Court on Monday set aside an order passed by the Rajasthan High Court summoning IPS officer Ajay Pal Lamba for recording his evidence as a court witness in connection with self-styled Godman Asaram Bapu appeal challenging his conviction in a minor’s rape case.
The Apex Court further directed the High Court to dispose of expeditiously, the appeal made by Asaram against his conviction in the rape case.
The IPS officer had led the probe in the case. In a book written later, Lamba had allegedly recorded evidence that the survivor was tutored.
Earlier on February 10, the Apex Court had reserved its judgment on the petition filed by the State of Rajasthan against the High Court summoning Lamba for recording his evidence as court witness.
Asaram’s appeal against his conviction is pending before the High Court.
