As the Bombay High Court (HC) was set to hear Salman Khan’s bail plea in 2002 hit-and-run case, a huge crowd of fans was gathered outside the Bollywood superstar’s residence in suburban Bandra this morning. However, Bombay High Court has suspended the Salman Khan’s jail term for indefinite time.
The single-judge bench of Justice Abhay Thipsay suspended the five-year jail term after hearing arguments from both sides. “We can fix a date in June or July whether he is guilty or not”. Justice Thipsay said, “We cannot take pleasure in the fact that someone is in custody. There is no law that says if there is alcohol (in blood) it is culpable homicide,” Indian media reported.
Earlier on the day, the High Court started hearing Khan’s bail petition in the 2002 hit-and-run case with the actor’s lawyers saying that the lower court ignored important elementary principles.
Salman Khan is also involved in another blackbuck case and next hearing for the blackbuck poaching case is slated for May 28. Salman will be looking at a much longer jail term if he gets convicted in the blackbuck poaching case and the illegal arms possession case. but for now, fans have taken a sigh of relief.
