Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court on Friday granted Kannada actor Darshan conditional bail. Conditions include that he will not do anything to destroy evidence. The court has also asked Darshan and his wife Vijaylakshmi to appear before it on October 13.
The actor was jailed on charges of attempt to murder on his wife Vijaylakshmi.
The Karnataka High Court on September 22 adjourned the bail application of Kannada actor Darshan, arrested for allegedly assaulting and threatening his wife, to October 6.
On September 21, Darshan's remand in judicial custody was extended till October 4 by the First Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court.
Earlier, a Sessions court had rejected Darshan's bail plea on grounds that the actor was influential and could bring pressure on the complainant (his wife, Vijaylakshmi), witnesses and tamper with evidence.
Vijayalakshmi had appeared before the magisterial court earlier seeking to withdraw her complaint, but the court did not accept it and rejected Darshan's bail plea on the ground that the crime committed under IPC section 307 (attempt to murder) did not fall under its jurisdiction.
She had told the court that she sustained head injuries during a fall in the bathroom. This ran contrary to her allegations in a police complaint on September 8 that Darshan had assaulted her and threatened her with a revolver.
Darshan was arrested on September 9 following the complaint.
