00:31Karnataka police has taken this case to the Supreme Court now

00:35and has pled against the bail to the actor.

00:39And Darshan, as we told you, is accused of killing Renuka Swami, who was a fan of his.

00:46Now, for more on this, I'm joined by Anisha Mathur.

00:50Anisha, the Supreme Court seems to be taking some sort of a...

00:55They're not really happy with the way the order was dictated by the High Court, it seems.

01:00They're saying that the High Court did not exercise their discretion properly.

01:05What does the Supreme Court really mean by that?

01:07Well, Anish, this judgment that the Karnataka Police has come to the Supreme Court against,

01:14that judgment had granted bail to actor Darshan.

01:18And the Supreme Court bench, headed by Justice Pardewala,

01:26In fact, the court clearly observing in this matter,

01:30that take a look at what the High Court has said in its judgment.

01:35We are not happy with what they've said.

01:36We're not convinced that the High Court's order was correct.

01:40However, the court did not take any action today, did not pass any orders today,

01:45because Senior Advocate Kapil Sibbal, who was appearing for Darshan,

01:48has raised the argument regarding the evidence in this case,

01:52has said that the court should not look into the arguments or the averments made before the High Court.

01:58It should look purely on the issue of evidence and whether there is enough evidence to keep the actor in jail.

02:03On that aspect, now the court said that, well, we will pick out the issues that we are,

02:09we will point out what we have objection to, and now the hearing will be next week.

02:14But for now, no orders have been passed by the Supreme Court.
