Hit & Run: Salman Khan in court today, may face imprisonment
Mumbai, July 19: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan may face imprisonment over his hit and run case in which the actor has been tried in culpable homicide charge which implicates a jail term of 10 year.
The actor was expected appear before a court in Mumbai on Friday, July 19. Charges were likely to be framed in the 2002 case against Salman.
Earlier a Mumbai Session Court had dismissed Salman's plea. The actor had appealed against a magistrate's order for his retrial in the 2002 hit-and-run case under stringent charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Salman
was
earlier
tried
by
a
magistrate
under
lesser
charge
of
causing
death
by
negligence
(Section
304A
of
IPC),
that
provides
for
a
maximum
punishment
of
two
years
in
jail.
Advancing his argument against invoking the grave charge of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' under section 304 part II IPC, Salman's lawyer Ashok Mundargi had pleaded that the magistrate's order was "erroneous, bad in law and contrary to evidence on record."
The magistrate, he contended, had failed to appreciate that Salman Khan had neither the intention (to kill people) nor the knowledge that his rash and negligent driving would kill a person and cause injury to four others.
Salman recently has launched a website enlisting all details regarding all cases involving the actor.The landing page of Salman Khan's website says, "Certain court cases are filed against me. There is widespread media reporting of these cases. The reports are sometimes inaccurate and misleading, and cause damage to my reputation, both personal and professional."
"I have been advised to put up this website to provide easy accessible information about the ongoing status of these cases," added the statement.
Continuing the statement, the actor said, "I encourage all those interested in knowing about the cases, particularly the media, to verify facts available on this site."
A social activist, meanwhile, filed a complaint in a local court seeking action against Salman for launching the website alleging that it was contempt of court.
