Jail or Bail: Bombay HC to hear Salman's plea today

May 08, 2015 09:25

All eyes are on the Bombay High Court which will hear on Friday Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's appeal against his conviction in the 2002 hit-and-run case and his plea for bail.

Salman's appeal is listed for admission on the board of Justice Abhay Thipsay, who had on Wednesday granted him an interim bail for two days.

The actor was convicted and sentenced to five years' rigorous imprisonment on various charges under IPC, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, besides penal provisions under Motor Vehicles Act and other laws.

The trial court had found him guilty of ramming the American Express bakery in suburban Bandra with his Toyota Land Cruiser on September 28, 2002, killing one person and wounding four others sleeping on the pavement outside.

Soon after the conviction, Salman's lawyer had moved the high court which granted him interim bail for two days since he had not been given a detailed, reasoned copy of the verdict on the basis of which his appeal would be heard.
