SC to hear Maha Govt.'s plea against Salman today

February 05, 2016 08:33

The Supreme Court will hear Maharashtra Government's special leave petition against Salman Khan in the hit-and-run-case today.

Justice J.S. Kher and Justice C. Nagappan will be on the bench that will hear his case.

Khan had moved the Supreme Court, saying he should be heard before any hearing on the Maharashtra Government's petition challenging his acquittal in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

The Maharashtra Government had on January 22 filed a petition in the apex court against the Bombay High Court's judgement acquitting Salman of 'all charges', overturning the trial court's order sentencing him for five years.

Earlier, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had announced that his government would challenge the High Court's verdict on its merits.
