The Supreme Court has issued a notice to Salman Khan after Maharashtra government challenged his acquittal by the Bombay High Court in the 2002 hit-and-run case. The bench comprising of Justice Jagjit Singh Khehar and Justice C Nagappan told Salman Khan, “It would be much, much better if he gets acquittal from this court as it will save him from all the repercussions,” while issuing the notice.
The first hearing of the appeal had taken place today morning on February 5, 2016, as reported Times Now. In the 40-minute long proceeding, several unresolved questions were brought up again.
The Public Prosecutor, fighting the case on behalf of the Government of Maharashtra, challenged Salman’s theory of his driver allegedly driving the car when the accident took place.
He questioned as to how the driver came into the picture after as long as 13 years in 2015 and not in 2002.
He also specifically questioned the timing of the superstar’s blood sample.
He pointed out that the accident took place at 3 am but Salman’s blood sample was taken as late as 10:30 am.
Congress’ Kapil Sibal is representing Salman in the case.
