Salman Khan Hit And Run Case: HC Rejects Intervention Plea To Grant Stay On Actor’s Appeal

Salman-Returns-5With Bollywood actor Salman Khan enjoying his success of recently released film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the Bombay High Court on Monday July 20, 2015 rejected an intervening plea against the actor by a convict in a murder case.

A convict in a murder case, whose appeal has not been heard since 2009 had put an application to the court, seeking stay on an appeal filed by Salman Khan against his five-year sentence in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

The 2009 convict had put his point saying that the matters and cases of the celebrities were heard on time while other convicts like him were kept pending for long and for which they continued to languish in jails.

However, Justice A.R. Joshi rejected the appeal made by a convict as both the sides in the actor’s case have agreed for an expeditious hearing in the matter. Also the judge said that in the intervener’s petition, the court has not passed any judicial order.
