★ Government not to file appeal in Salman hit-and-run case, stage set for retrial !

Mumbai Mirror | Jan 28, 2014

The stage is set for a fresh trial against actor Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case with the state government rejecting the prosecution's plea to file an appeal against the order of a sessions court for a retrial.  In a letter to chief prosecutor Kalpana Chavan, T K Chavan, the undersecretary of the law and judiciary department said the government did not consider this to be a fit case to file an appeal. The letter, however, did not assign any reason for rejecting the prosecution's proposal to file an appeal in the high court.  The fresh trial may begin on February 12. The prosecution has already submitted a list of 64 witnesses they propose to examine.  Salman was booked for running over a group of people sleeping on a footpath outside American Express Bakery in Bandra in September 2002. One person died and four others were injured. PTI

★ Mumbai: Fresh trial in Salman Khan hit-and-run case to begin today !

Dec 23, 2013

New Delhi: A Mumbai court on Monday will hear actor Salman Khan's hit-and-run case of 2002. The court had on December 5 ordered for a fresh trial in the case. In his order, Sessions court judge DW Deshpande said all the witnesses would be examined and cross-examined again during the trial which would be put on fast-track mode. The prosecution is likely to give a new list of witnesses and evidence on Monday.

Earlier a court had ordered that Salman Khan be tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, which attracts ten years of imprisonment. The actor had pleaded not guilty in court.

The July 24 order was a major setback to the actor, who was earlier tried by Bandra metropolitan magistrate court for a lesser charge of rash and negligent act causing death, under section 304 A of IPC, which attracts two years of imprisonment. Salman had requested that the earlier evidence presented in the case be disregarded.

One person was killed and four others were injured when the Land Cruiser, allegedly driven by Salman Khan, crushed a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in the early hours on September 28, 2002.

★ Mumbai Court orders fresh trial in Salman Khan hit-and-run case !

Aparna Mudi | Thursday, December 05, 2013

Mumbai: Salman Khan’s infamous hit and run case was scheduled to be in courts today. A Mumbai sessions court has agreed to Salman Khan’s plea for the trial to begin afresh and to consider new evidence.

The film star had appealed to the court in November 2013 for the trial to be started anew owing to a more serious charge that was framed by the magistrate under the section 304, of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. If proven guilty, Salman Khan may face imprisonment for up to ten years. Earlier the actor had only faced charges of negligent and rash driving for which the punishment is up to two years of jail term. Khan’s lawyer, Srikant Shivade had argued that the actor had not been given an opportunity to cross examine the witness and a more serious charge should be tried in a sessions court. The sessions court, on Thursday decided to begin the trial afresh and to bring the evidence given by the witnesses anew. The trial is likely to begin on December 23. In September 2002, Salman allegedly drove his land cruiser and crushed 5 people, killing one and injuring the others outside a pavement in Bandra.

★ Mumbai court to decide on fresh trial in 2002 Salman Khan hit-and-run case !

Swati Deshpande,TNN | Dec 3, 2013

MUMBAI: The sessions court in Mumbai will decide on Thursday, December 5, whether there should be a fresh trial with fresh evidence in the 2002 case against actor Salman Khan after graver charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder was added.  The judge had made a query whether a fresh trial should be undertaken or the same evidence which was produced before the Bandra magistrate could be relied up, said a defence advocate.  Both sides had made their submissions. Khan's lawyers including advocate Shrikant Shivade had argued for a fresh trial since they said the matter now included a serious charge of section 304-II of the Indian Penal Code and thus needs to tried afresh. But the prosecution team argued otherwise and said the large body of evidence presented before the magistrate ought to be used.  In October the court heard Salman's lawyer and prosecution on whether the trial should begin afresh or evidence adduced earlier by the Magistrate should be considered by the sessions court.  In June, the session court had ruled that the actor should be charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the case - a charge under IPC which attracts 10 years of imprisonment.  The June 24 order was a major setback to the actor, who was earlier tried by Bandra metropolitan magistrate court for a lesser charge of rash and negligent act causing death, under section 304 A of IPC, which attracts upto two years of imprisonment.  One person was killed and four others were injured when the Land Cruiser, allegedly driven by Salman Khan, crushed a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in the early hours on September 28, 2002.
