The Karnataka government is set to contest the High Court's ruling granting bail to Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and other accused individuals in the Renukaswamy murder case. The government is taking the matter to the Supreme Court through a special leave petition.
This legal maneuver was sanctioned by the state and will see senior advocate Siddarth Luthra representing Karnataka. The public prosecutor has been tasked with preparing the required documentation for the Supreme Court appeal.
Initially given interim bail in late October on medical grounds, Darshan, along with prime accused Pavithra Gowda and several others, were granted regular bail in December. The charges link them to the murder of Renukaswamy, allegedly due to inappropriate messages sent to Gowda.
