New Delhi: A victim in the ‘2002 Salman Khan car hit and run case’, moved the Supreme Court on Thursday challenging the acquittal of Salman Khan by the Bombay High Court.
The special leave petition filed by Muslim Niyamat Shaikh, who was injured in the accident, prayed for quashing the HC verdict and a direction to the Maharashtra government and Salman Khan to pay a compensation to him and to his family. The petition is to be heard on Friday along with a SLP already pending before a Bench headed by Justice J. S. Khehar.
In his petition Niyamat Shaik contended that the HC has wrongly acquitted the actor by ignoring the material points with regard to the statement of the petitioner before the police and the trial court which had sentenced him to five years rigorous imprisonment.
