Meanwhile, the defence has once again raised objection on the victim girl being minor.
Counsel of Asaram today moved a fresh application stating that the girl was an adult and hence challenged the invocation of charges under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) Act against Asaram.
This is for the fifth time that the age of the girl has been challenged in the court despite the plea being earlier rejected by the High Court.
Asaram is lodged in the Jodhpur Central Jail since September 2 last year after he was booked for the sexual assault on the teenage girl.
