Darshan’s lawyer, Sunil, requested the court to allow the actor to sign the bond documents in the court hall instead of the pending branch room, considering his health. The judge permitted this and instructed the bond papers to be signed in the court itself. Alongside Darshan, bail applications for other accused, including Pavan, Raghavendra, and Nandish, were also accepted. Lawyers submitted the necessary bonds and sureties for accused individuals such as Pavithra Gowda, Anukumar, Pradosh, Nagaraj, and Lakshman.
