Karnataka High Court Delays Darshan's Jail Transfer
The Karnataka High Court is deciding if actor Darshan should be moved to a different jail.
The government wants to move him to Ballari, where he was before.
However, his lawyer says it's not a good idea because there are many witnesses, and it's hard to travel back and forth for the trial.
Also, the lawyer argues that the reason for the transfer - a leaked photo of Darshan smoking - is not valid because the jail doesn't have a designated smoking area.
The court will make a decision at the next hearing.
