Darshan's application for home food rejected by High Court
Prison officials clarified that Darshan has no food poisoning issues
Darshan's request rejected based on Prisons & Correctional Services Act 2021
In a recent development in the case of actor Darshan, who is currently jailed in connection with the Renukaswamy murder, his request for home-cooked meals has been turned down by prison officials. The actor had sought permission for home food, citing health issues, but his application was rejected during a hearing in the High Court today.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna presided over the single-member bench where Darshan’s advocate, Prabhulinga Navadagi, and government representatives were present. The jail authorities, represented by SPP Beliyappa, informed the court that they had already rejected Darshan’s request on June 14.
Despite Darshan’s claims of food poisoning from jail meals, the prison officials clarified that he has no such issues. They stated that Darshan is being treated for a bone problem and viral fever, with doctors prescribing necessary medications and nutritious food. The jail authorities emphasized that there is no nutritional deficiency in the provided diet, and Darshan has been receiving special food items like milk, eggs, and bread as per medical advice.
The rejection of Darshan’s request is based on the Prisons & Correctional Services Act 2021, which allows for special dietary provisions only on medical grounds and at the discretion of the medical officer. According to the Act, Section 322 and 338 stipulate that any dietary changes must be recommended by a doctor, and currently, no such recommendation exists for Darshan’s need for home-cooked meals.
Darshan’s lawyer requested a week to argue against the prison’s decision, and the court granted this, scheduling the next hearing for September 5. Until then, Darshan will continue to rely on the jail’s provisions, with his health being monitored by prison medical staff.
