Harish, who was on parole, had moved the High Court against the order of the Udupi Sessions Court, which sentenced him to life imprisonment in the case. In his petition, Harish said the order of the lower court was "uncorroborated, inconsistent and unnatural" and prayed for setting it aside. The lower court had found Harish guilty of the murder of Jayarama Rao, a resident of Kammarapady in Udupi district. Jayarama Rao, a financer, was found lying in a pool of blood in his office on November 13, 1992. He was admitted to hospital where he died on November 26, 1992. In his statement, Rao had alleged that Harish and others had attacked him. The Malpe Police had arrested Harish. Justice Bannurmath and Justice Mohan Shantanagouder acquitted Harish giving him the benefit of doubt and ordered his release. They also set aside the order of the lower court.
