Salman Khan Exempted From Court Appearance

Actor Salman Khan who is convicted under the hit and run case dating back to September 28, 2002,.The case was transferred to a sessions court for re-trial, after the Bandra magistrate, who examined 17 witnesses, had invoked the charge of `culpable homicide not amounting to murder` against the actor.Salman Khan, who has pleaded that the magistrate`s order was “erroneous, bad in law and contrary to evidence on record”, can get a 10-year jail term for the offence under this section, which is triable by a Sessions court.

As per sources, Following Salman Khan’s counsel Ashok Mundargi’s request, a Sessions court has reportedly exempted the actor from appearance in the 2002 hit-and-run case judge U B Hejib adjourned the matter to May 8, and on the same day, the court will hear the 47-year-old actor`s plea against the order of the magistrate.

At least it is a small relief   for Dabangg Khan.
