Key Questions Answered
Darshan's lawyer requested a one-week postponement, arguing that they received the order late and needed time to approach the Supreme Court. However, the prosecution countered that Pradosh was already summoned following High Court arguments, resulting in the rejection of the request.
Police investigations revealed that Pradosh, listed as the fourteenth accused, was the mastermind behind the destruction of evidence and acted as a main bridge between actor Darshan and the other co-accused. He allegedly arranged money from Darshan, helped dispose of the body, and coordinated surrender plans.
According to the High Court bench, Darshan's lawyers hold the full right to cross-examine the confessional witness after his statement is recorded. They can question all aspects of Pradosh's statements and challenge his credibility during the proceedings.
