According to Livelaw, the apex court had criticised the high court for granting the bail. Justice Pardiwala said, “Don’t you think the High Court has basically given acquittal to seven? Very sorry to say, does the High Court dictate the same order in all bail applications? What is troubling us is the manner in which the court dealt, and says in the end that grounds of arrest on assigned in 302. How can a High Court judge say that? We can understand a sessions judge committing such mistakes.”
Further questioning if the high court had applied it’s mind judicially, the justice added, “we will not commit the same mistake as high court did, we will not give any judgment for conviction or acquittal.”
Darshan was arrested on 11 June 2024 in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy, a resident of Chitradurga.
The victim’s body was found near a stormwater drain on the outskirts of Bengaluru, bearing multiple injury marks.
Darshan was reportedly angered after Renukaswamy sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda and had him abducted and killed in a parking shed.
The actor and several of his close associates were arrested, after an attempt by Darshan to get others to take responsibility for the killing and surrender in his stead for a promise of money failed.
After spending nearly four and a half months in judicial custody, the Karnataka High Court granted him interim bail for six weeks to undergo spine surgery, on 30 October 2024.
The court required him to surrender his passport and execute a personal bond of ₹2 lakh with two sureties for the same amount.
