SC Not To Cancel Darshan's Bail In Murder Case

New Delhi: In an interim order, the Supreme Court on Friday refused to cancel the bail granted to Kannada actors Darshan Thoogudeepa, Pavithra Gowda, and others in a murder case but agreed to examine the Karnataka government's challenge against it and issued notice.

A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan issued notice to Darshan and others on the State's plea against the Karnataka High Court's bail order. The State government, said the apex court, apprehended other co-accused would take advantage of the high court order.

"Since State is praying for cancellation of bail, it would not be proper to stay the operation of the order as it would amount to cancellation of bail," clarified the bench.
