Justice B V Pinto adjourned the arguments on the bail pleaafter directing Special Public Prosecutor Vijay Kumar Majjigeto file his objection against Darshan's bail plea on the nextdate of hearing.
Darshan, is presently lodged in Parappana Agrahara centralprison.
The Court had on September 22 adjourned the hearing on hisbail plea by two weeks after Darshan's counsel moved the court for an early hearing.
The actor moved the High Court after both the magistrate andsessions court rejected his bail petitions.
The sessions court had rejected his bail plea on the groundhe was influential and could bring pressure on the complainant (his wife, Vijaylakshmi), witnesses and tamper with evidence.
The magisterial court did not accept Vijayalakshmi's pleato withdraw her complaint and rejected Darshan's bail plea onthe ground that the crime committed under IPC section 307(attempt to murder) did not fall under the ambit of its jurisdiction.
Vijaylakshmi had told the court she sustained head injuries during a fall in the bathroom. This ran contrary to her allegations in a police complaint on September 8 that Darshan had assaulted and threatened her with a revolver.
Darshan was on September 21 taken back to prison after discharge from state-run Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Chest Diseases where he was being treated for asthma and jaundice since September 10.
Darshan was arrested on September 9 following the complaint.
