Kannada actor Darshan's bail plea has been adjourned to September 19 by a local court in Bangalore on Wednesday.


Darshan was was arrested for allegedly assaulting and threatening his wife Vijayalakshmi.

Principal Sessions Judge R B Budihal adjourned the bail plea to that date after ordering issue of notice to the Public Prosecutor Agasi Mani.

Darshan had filed the plea before the sessions court after his application was rejected by the First Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Venkatesh Hulagi on Tuesday, who said he did not have the jurisdiction to handle a case filed under IPC Section 307 (attempt to murder).

Darshan's attempts to secure bail suffered a setback despite his wife retracting her statement in court on Tuesday saying she had sustained head injuries during a fall in the bathroom. This ran contrary to her allegations in a police complaint on September 8 that he had assaulted her and threatened her with a revolver.

Darshan was arrested on September 9 and produced before a magistrate, who remanded him to judicial custody.

Several leading Kannada film personalities had tried to bring about a patch up between Darshan and his wife.

Police had on Tuesday requested the court to drop IPC Sec 307 (attempt to murder) against Darshan, who is now undergoing treatment for asthma and jaundice in a hospital.
