The Supreme Court on Friday (January 24, 2025) refused to cancel the bail granted to Kannada actors Darshan Thoogudeepa, Pavithra Gowda, and five others in the Renukaswamy murder case but agreed to examine the Karnataka government's challenge.
A Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan issued notice to Darshan and others on the State's plea against the Karnataka High Court's bail order.

The State government, the apex court said, apprehended other co-accused would be allowed to take advantage of order passed by the high court in the impugned order.
"Since State is praying for cancellation of bail, it would not be proper to stay the operation of the order as it would amount to cancellation of bail. Yet, to protect the interest of prosecution, if any co-accused prays on bail, the court concerned shall not place reliance on the order challenged before us. Any bail application filed shall be decided on its own merit," the bench said.
