Actor Darshan Challenges Court Order Allowing Co-accused Pradosh as Approver in Murder Case
Kannada actor Darshan, currently jailed in the Renukaswamy murder case, has challenged the trial court's decision allowing co-accused Pradosh to become an approver in the Karnataka High Court. Darshan questions the legal and procedural validity of this order and has sought a stay. The trial court granted Pradosh conditional pardon on August 25, permitting him to testify as a witness. Courts have ruled that co-accused cannot oppose pardon proceedings but may cross-examine once testimony begins.
