Superstar
Salman
Khan
appeared
before
a
Mumbai
Sessions
Court
today
in
connection
with
the
2002
hit-and-run
case.
On
June
24,
the
Mumbai
Sessions
Court
had
rejected
Salman's
review
petition
as
a
result,
the
actor
will
now
have
to
face
a
fresh
trial
on
the
culpable
homicide
not
amounting
to
murder
case,
under
Section
304
of
IPC.
According
to
recent
news,
Salman
was
supposed
to
leave
for
London
on
26th
July
for
the
shooting
of
his
movie
Kick,
but
the
magistrate
has
asked
him
to
appear
again
before
the
court
on
24th
July.
Earlier
Salman
Khan
was
only
being
tried
for
rash
and
negligent
driving,
which
has
a
sentence
of
two
years,
according
to
law.
But
in
January
this
year,
the
metropolitan
magistrate,
after
examining
17
witnesses
in
the
case,
charged
Salman
Khan
for
culpable
homicide.
In
March,
Salman
Khan
appealed
against
the
magistrate's
order
and
asked
for
a
retrial
in
the
case
under
the
stringent
charge
of
culpable
homicide
not
amounting
to
murder.
In
the
petition
filed
by
the
actor,
it
was
mentioned
that
the
magistrate's
order
is
"bad
in
law"
and
"erroneous".
Salman
Khan's
SUV
ran
over
a
group
of
people
sleeping
on
the
pavement
in
2002.
In
the
accident,
one
person
was
killed
and
four
others
were
injured
badly.
If
convicted
for
this
charge
Salman
Khan
will
have
to
go
to
the
jail
for
ten
years.
