Karnataka High Court Proposes Options for Actor Darshan's Trial Appearance
The Karnataka High Court is considering a petition by actor Darshan, through his wife Vijayalakshmi, seeking his physical presence during the Renukaswamy murder trial instead of video conferencing from prison. The court suggested three alternatives: conducting witness examinations at the prison, allowing confidential video consultations with lawyers, or permitting physical appearances for limited days. The trial court had earlier rejected physical presence citing video conferencing rules. The High Court has adjourned the matter to September 16 for parties to propose acceptable modalities.
