Karnataka: Hearing on Anticipatory Bail plea of Murugha Sharanaru adjourned to Friday

The Chitradurga Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing on the Anticipatory Bail plea of Murugha Sharanaru who has been booked under the POCSO Act and SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, to Friday allowing a day’s time to the prosecution and victims’ counsels to submit their objections.

Counsel for Murugha Sharanaru had moved the anticipatory bail application on August 29 before Second Additional District and Sessions court. However as Judge B.K. Komala was on leave, First Additional District and Sessions Judge Kalkani had admitted the plea and had posted the matter for hearing on Thursday (September 1).

On Friday, Second Additional District and Sessions Judge B.K. Komala took up the case for hearing and the two minor girls, victims of alleged sexual harassment and their parents appeared before the court. The judge sent out all others present in the court hall barring those connected to the case and began the hearing.
