Bollywood actor Salman Khan got a major relief from Bombay High Court on Thursday after he got acquitted of all charges in the infamous 2002 hit-and-run case.
According to reports, Salman Khan has now withdrawn his plea from the Supreme Court seeking examination of singer Kamaal Khan as witness in hit-and-run case. Kamaal was a major missing link in the case, who is currently residing in London.
Kamaal Khan was in the car with Salman Khan in 2002 when it ran over pavement dwellers. But Kamaal Khan was never examined as a witness by the prosecution during the trial.
The accident that took place on September 28, 2002 allegedly left one pavement dweller dead and four others injured.
While dictating the order in the 2002 hit-and-run case in which Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was made accused, the Bombay High Court on Thursday said that it is the considered view of the court that the prosecution has failed to establish its case on all charges.
The Bombay HC also said that it is a well settled principle that court must decide the case on material brought on record and which can be brought as evidence as per procedure laid down by law. The court shall not get swayed that a particular person because of his status or profession must have committed the offence or must be held guilty.
