Hit-and-run case: Court rejects prosecution plea asking Salman Khan to produce driving licence

MUMBAI: A sessions court on Tuesday rejected the plea of the prosecution in the 2002 hit-and-run case seeking a direction to actor Salman Khan to produce his driving licence to prove the charge that he was driving car at the time of mishap without valid papers.

Special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat argued that Khan did not possess a licence when his car ran over people sleeping on the pavement in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002, killing one person and injuring four.

He (Khan) obtained a driving licence only in 2004, as per the record available with Regional Transport Office, said the prosecution.

The actor has denied that he was driving the car at the time. He has also disputed the RTO record. His lawyer, Srikant Shivade, opposed the prosecution's application, saying it was not maintainable.

Khan's lawyer opposed the prosecution's application saying it 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 prove its case that Khan was not holding driving licence without asking him to produce it.

Earlier, a Regional Transport Officer had deposed in the court saying that Khan did not possess a driving licence when his car met with an accident in 2002. He also produced office records to show that Khan had obtained licence only in 2004, two years after the mishap.

On September 28, 2002, the actor's car had rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra and ran over people sleeping on the pavement outside, killing one and injuring four.

The case, dragging on for over a decade, took a twist when a city Magistrate, after examining 17 witnesses, held that the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder was made out against the 49-year-old actor, and referred the case to the sessions court.
