Key Questions Answered
Darshan's lawyer filed an application on September 26 to postpone Pradosh's approver statement by one week, stating they needed time to appeal the High Court order in the Supreme Court and had received the order copy late. However, the court dismissed this last-minute attempt, allowing the scheduled recording to proceed.
ASPP Sachin argued for the prosecution that Pradosh had already been issued a summons on September 24 and that the defense's application contained no new information or facts to justify a delay. The prosecution contended that waiting for potential Supreme Court review petitions could stall the case indefinitely for months.
Pradosh, who is the 14th accused in the Chitradurga Renukaswamy murder case, is scheduled to record his statement as an approver on Monday, September 28, after the court dismissed the defense's request for a postponement.
