Karnataka High Court Calls for Medical Records in Actor Darshan’s Bail Plea

Karnataka High Court Calls for Medical Records in Actor Darshan’s Bail Plea
The Karnataka High Court is currently hearing a bail plea filed by Kannada actor Darshan Thoogdeep Srinivas, who is facing charges in the Renukaswamy murder case. The court has directed the prosecution to submit the actor’s medical records, as Darshan's legal team cited serious spine-related health issues. The court is considering these records to determine whether to grant bail. Earlier, the Sessions Court had denied bail to Darshan and co-accused Pavitra Gowda, though another co-accused, Keshavamurthy, had been granted bail by the High Court.

Medical Concerns Raised in Bail Plea

Senior Advocate C V Nagesh, representing Darshan, informed the court that the actor recently underwent medical examinations for his spine condition. This information prompted the court to request a thorough review of the actor's medical reports before making a final decision on his bail application. The actor was arrested in June 2024 and has been in judicial custody since late June. His co-accused, who is also seeking bail, remains involved in the case as the investigation continues. The actor's defense team emphasizes his medical condition as a significant factor in the plea.

Sessions Court Denial and Co-Accused Bail Status

Previously, the Sessions Court had rejected Darshan’s bail plea on October 14, 2024. However, the High Court’s current directive shows an interest in revisiting the decision, especially considering Darshan’s health claims. It is noteworthy that another co-accused, Keshavamurthy, was granted bail earlier by the High Court, possibly providing some precedent for Darshan's appeal. This ongoing judicial scrutiny indicates a careful balancing of the actor’s alleged involvement in the case against his health condition.

High Court’s Careful Consideration

The High Court has taken a cautious approach by ordering the prosecution to present Darshan’s medical records. This directive signals the court’s willingness to weigh medical issues alongside legal arguments in the bail plea. As the case progresses, the court will evaluate the seriousness of the actor’s medical condition to ensure that both justice and health concerns are adequately addressed. The next hearing is scheduled, and the decision will likely depend on the detailed medical evidence submitted by the prosecution.
