The state had earlier submitted medical reports from doctors at the Bellary Central Jail and the head of neurology at the Bellary government hospital.

The court noted that medical reports recommended that Darshan undergo surgery to address medical issues related to his spine and legs.

Nagesh requested the Court to allow Darshan to undergo surgery at Apollo Hospital in Mysuru. Nagesh claimed that Darshan would undertake to pay all medical expenses incurred at the private facility.

However, Darshan’s anticipatory bail application was opposed by the Public Prosecutor (SPP).

SPP Kumar told the Court that though the actor’s medical reports recommended surgery, they did not provide details of how many days Darshan would have to be hospitalized. Kumar also insisted that Darshan undergo surgery at a government hospital and be examined by a medical board first.
