Bengaluru, June 28: The Karnataka High Court on Thursday rejected the petition filed by the investigating officers seeking cancellation of bail given to journalist Ravi Belagere by a lower court in a case of giving supari to kill his colleague.

After hearing the arguments on the petition filed by the investigating officers, Justice John Michael Kunna delivered the order.

Advocate who argued in favour of Ravi Belagere, said that the police have already filed the charge sheet in the case. But his client did not violate any of the conditions imposed by the lower court. Hearing the argument, the Judge rejected the petition filed by the investigating officials.

It was appealed in the petition that the lower court had not considered the appeal of the prosecution that the accused was so influential and he could threaten the witnesses and destroy the evidences. Though the investigating officers have produced plenty of documents to prove his involvement in the case, the lower court had not considered them. So, the bail given by the lower court should be rejected, it was appealed in the petition.
