Jailed Kannada superstar Darshan is hoping to get bail before Diwali as the Karnataka High Court is taking up his appeal petition on Monday.
The matter is likely to be taken up later in the day.
Darshan is allegedly suffering from severe back pain and his counsel, famous criminal lawyer C.V. Nagesh, who was unsuccessful in securing bail for the actor in the lower court, is presenting the case with medical records and is likely to press for bail on medical grounds.
