In a relief to Salman, court adjourns hit-and-run case till April 29

Mumbai: A Mumbai sessions court, which was to hear the revision application filed by actor Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case, has adjourned the matter till April 29 as the judge who was supposed to hear the case is on leave. Salman Khan's application challenges a magistrate court order that changed the charges against him from death by negligence to culpable homicide.

The actor has contended that the magistrate had erred in invoking the charge of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' (section 304 part II IPC) in the hit-and-run case of 2002. The offence under this section attracts ten years' punishment and is triable by a sessions court.




Earlier, he was tried by a magistrate for lesser charge of causing death by negligence (section 304 A IPC), that provides for a maximum punishment of two years in jail. After examining 17 witnesses, the magistrate had come to the conclusion that culpable homicide charge was made out against the actor and transferred the case to the sessions court for retrial.
