Mumbai:
Actor Salman has moved a sessions court in Mumbai, challenging a lower court's order of invoking the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against him in the 2002 hit-and-run case.
In his petition, Salman Khan has called the magistrate's order "bad in law" and "erroneous". The court will hear his plea tomorrow.
Salman Khan was earlier being tried for rash and negligent driving, which carries a maximum sentence of two years. However, in January the court handling his case accepted that the police has provided evidence that merits trying the actor for culpable homicide.
In 2002, Salman Khan's SUV had run into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one and injuring four persons who were sleeping on the pavement outside.
