The defence lawyer Harish Salve argued in the court saying that no one can put anyone in jail without proper order. Bombay High Court later granted Salman Khan two days of interim bail, till May 8th.
Salman has been booked under Section 304 A of the Indian Penal Code (rash and negligent driving); 279 (rash driving); 337 (causing minor injuries); 338 (causing major injuries) 427 (negligence) in connection with the case.
Under Motor Vehicle Act Sections 34 (a), (b) read with 181 (driving vehicle in contravention of rules); 185 (driving at great speed after consuming alcohol).
