Karnataka High Court Restricts Home-Cooked Food for Renukaswamy Case Accused to Medical Grounds

The Karnataka High Court set aside a trial court order that allowed home-cooked food once a week to actor Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, and other accused in the Renukaswamy murder case. The High Court ruled that home-cooked food for undertrial prisoners can be granted only on medical advice, not merely on request, to prevent management issues in prisons. The court emphasized that prisoners are entitled to basic necessities under prison rules, but concessions must follow proper procedures.
