Salman’s verdict: Actor leaves for Court

Mumbai: Salman Khan leaves his Bandra residence for the Bombay High Court. The court will deliver its verdict on an appeal filed by actor Salman Khan against the five year sentence awarded to him in the 2002 hit-and-run case, in which he was found guilty of running over pavement dwellers with his SUV after a night out drinking.

The Bombay High Court started dictating its order yesterday. It would give its ruling on the applicability of culpable homicide charge against the actor in the 2002 hit-and-run case and also on other key questions like the admissibility of the statement of the actor’s former body guard as evidence.

This was stated by Justice A R Joshi while giving dictation of the verdict in the open court in the appeal filed in the High Court by Khan against the May 6 judgement of a Mumbai Sessions court which sentenced him to five years jail term.

The HC had recently rejected Salman’s plea on issuing a directive to examine Kamaal Khan as witness.
