Key Questions Answered
Actor Darshan has filed a total of two appeals, alongside an additional appeal filed by his wife Vijayalakshmi on his behalf, bringing the total to three petitions challenging the High Court order regarding the approver.
They challenged the High Court order upholding the decision that the arguments of co-accused individuals do not need to be heard before proceeding with the approver's order, as well as the review of the approver's decision.
Senior advocate Hashmath Pasha objected because Pradosh allegedly spoke with his lawyer for 15 minutes after recording his approver statement with police permission, arguing that Pradosh is now a witness rather than an accused and thus cannot appoint a lawyer.
