Suspicion cannot be grounds for convicting Salman: Judge

December 10, 2015 13:05

The dictation of the verdict in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving Bollywood star Salman Khan has almost ended with Justice AR Joshi now waiting for the actor to reach the court before pronouncing his verdict.

Justice Joshi, who heard Khan's appeal against the five-year sentence awarded to him by a sessions court, said there is no place for public opinion to be a factor while deciding a case. He says suspicion cannot be grounds for conviction.

Syed Firdaus Ashraf/Rediff.com who is in court says the moment the judge said Salman had to be present in court, the number of people both inside the courtroom and outside has gone up five times.

Salman's father Salim Khan leaves Galaxy Apartments in Bandra for the Bombay High court. No sign of the actor as yet.
