December 08, 2015
The Bombay high court has said it would give its ruling on the applicability of culpable homicide charge against Bollywood actor Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case and also on other key questions such as the admissibility of the statement of the actor's former bodyguard as evidence.
This was stated by Justice A R Joshi while giving dictation of the verdict in the open court in the appeal filed in the high court by Khan against the May 6 judgement of a Mumbai sessions court which sentenced him to a five-year jail term.
Justice Joshi said he would give a ruling on whether the statement of Ravindra Patil, an eyewitness and former police bodyguard of Salman, was admissible as evidence under Section 33 of Indian Evidence Act.
