Supreme Court to hear appeal against Salman Khan in ‘Hit & Run Case’

Salman Khan‘s 2002 Hit & Run Case is once again in news. The Supreme Court will be hearing an appeal which seeks to set aside the Bombay High Court’s order. It has been filed by a lawyer named Parmanand Katara who alleges that Salman has approached the High Court in a legal manner.

Katara was of a view that Salman should challenge the trial court order through a revision petition in the High Court, not file appeal as Salman did.

The Dabangg Khan had been given a clean chit in the case, by the High Court, on the basis that the main witness was ‘wholly unreliable’ and that there were discrepancies in the case. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had announced that his government would challenge the High Court’s verdict; so the government of Maharashtra has filed a petition in the apex court against the acquittal of the actor.

On his part, Khan had filed an appeal in the apex court, saying he should be heard before any hearing on the Maharashtra Government’s petition challenging his acquittal in the case. The ongoing Hit & Run case accuses Salman Khan of driving a car under the influence of alcohol and killing one and injuring four others in Bandra, Mumbai, in 2002.
