In a recent ruling, the Karnataka High Court rejected actor Darshan’s plea to be heard in a hearing where a co‑accused in the Renukaswamy murder case has applied to become an approver. The decision means Darshan will not be allowed to object to the co‑accused’s change of status.
Darshan, who has been accused in the murder of Renukaswamy, had previously stood on the victim’s chest and had fall guys ready, according to reports from The Hindu, Live Law, Deccan Chronicle, and ThePrint. He filed a petition seeking the court’s intervention to block the co‑accused’s application to turn approver. The Karnataka High Court dismissed the petition, citing that the co‑accused’s intent to turn approver is an issue for the trial court and that Darshan’s request does not alter the procedural timeline.
The Renukaswamy murder case has attracted significant public attention, and the co‑accused’s decision to become an approver could materially affect the case’s outcome and the prosecution’s strategy.
