Salman Khan's Hit And Run Case

Salman Khan's Hit And Run Case
by

In Salman Khan's 2002 hit-and-run case, the Maharashtra government has decided that it is not a fit case to file an appeal.

The fresh trial may begin on February 12 when the state is told to file additional documents if they wanted. The prosecution has already submitted a list of 64 witnesses they propose to examine. Salman is facing the charge of running over his Toyota Land Cruiser on a group of persons sleeping on a footpath outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in September 2002, killing one and injuring four others.

In a letter to the Chief Prosecutor Kalpana Chavan, the Under Secretary of Law and Judiciary Department T K Chavan has said the government did not consider this to be a fit case to file an appeal.

The letter, dated January 21, however, did not assign any reason for rejecting the prosecution's proposal to file an appeal in the high court. The prosecution also argued that it would be difficult for them to trace all the witnesses and re-examine them
