Salman Khan got relief from court in Hit and Run case

Mumbai : The Dabangg actress Salman Khan on Tuesday got relief from a session court in the 2002 hit-and-run case. The court rejected an application filed by the prosecution in the case involving actor Salman Khan as it ruled that an accused cannot be forced to produce driving licence.

The public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat argued that Khan did not possess a licence at the time of the accident ar suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002. He obtained a driving licence in 2004, as per the record available with Regional Transport Office, the prosecution said.

Salman Khan’s lawyer said the prosecution’s application violated the fundamental right against exploitation enshrined in the Constitution as it had asked the accused to produce documents incriminating him. He argued that the prosecution should rove its case that Khan was not holding a driving licence without asking him to produce it.

The 49-year-old actor is currently busy with Barjatya's 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. Kabir Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is currently in post-production stage for a mid-year release.
