A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan set aside the Karnataka High Court order, saying it suffers from various infirmities. 'We considered everything. The grant of bail as well as cancellation. It is evident that the high court order suffers from serious infirmities, instead it reflects a mechanical exercise and moreover, the high court undertook examination at pre-trial stage,' it said. A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan reserved the order on July 24 after hearing arguments from both sides. The bench was hearing a plea filed by the state government against the Karnataka High Court's December 13, 2024 order of bail to Darshan and the co-accused. Actress and former MP Divya Spandana revealed how she was facing abuse and rape threats from actor Darshan who is out on bail in a murder case.

‘I'm Sorry, I Don't Have The Money': Suneel Darshan On Why He Took Sunny Deol To Court
Suneel Darshan opens up on his fallout with Sunny Deol, claiming broken trust, unpaid dues, and a court battle that continues to this day. For years, filmmaker Suneel Darshan has been open about his rifts with Bollywood stars. Now, he has spoken once again about his bitter fallout with Sunny Deol – claiming money, trust, and promises were all broken in the process. Darshan recalled his very first collaboration with Sunny on Ajay (1996), which he described as 'a very bad experience." The problem, he said, began with the film's overseas distribution. 'He was supposed to pay me a certain amount as he had acquired the rights for Ajay's distribution overseas. Then he turned up saying, 'It's Christmas time, so the banks in the UK are shut. I'll definitely pay you later.' When the opportunity came later, he said, 'I'm sorry, I don't have the money, but I intend to pay you. Please help me,'" Darshan told Bollywood Hungama. The director added that Sunny had asked for his support during Barsaat (1995) too, and so he trusted him once again. 'If he doesn't have a bad memory, he should remember it," Darshan said, pointing out that despite helping the actor, the respect was never returned. Instead of settling the dues, Sunny allegedly promised to work in another project. Darshan said the script he pitched – which later became Jaanwar (1999) – was rejected. 'He said he was not comfortable with the subject and wanted me to work more on it. I said, 'This is a lie.' Soon after, certain untoward incidents happened, which left me shocked. That's when we decided not to work together again." According to Darshan, Sunny then assured him that the money would come back with interest, but it never happened. The case eventually went to court. 'Then Sunny went and told the court that he didn't have the liquidity to pay me, so he said he would do a film with me again, which the court felt was the best way to solve the issue. Much against my wishes, I gave in to it. There were some terms and conditions, and he flouted them. Only after putting in a year's worth of effort and money did I realise that the intent was suspicious. Thus, I walked out of that project and approached a division bench court. It's pending there now," Darshan revealed. Looking back, Darshan said his disappointment ran deeper because he had known Sunny even before he was an actor. 'When you put someone on a pedestal and then that image falls, it is more than just a momentary loss," he concluded. view comments First Published: August 18, 2025, 08:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

And I firmly believe that my celebrities (fans) will consent to this," Darshan is quoted as saying in his wife's Instagram post. Darshan had wrapped up the film in July. The reshooting of the film started in February after the actor was released on regular bail. 'Cinema is an entertainment medium and should be viewed only from the perspective of entertainment," the actor said further through his wife's post. Darshan was arrested on June 11, 2024, in connection with Renukaswamy murder case. Darshan was granted interim bail on medical grounds after he claimed back pain. He was then granted regular bail by the Karnataka High Court in mid-December. PTI JR ROH view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
