The Court observed that the prosecution could not provide a definite timeline for the trial's conclusion. "Apart from the theft charges, there is no prima facie evidence indicating their involvement in the murder case."
Kalburgi was fatally shot by two assailants in Dharwad on August 30, 2015, who then escaped on a motorcycle.
