Bombay High Court to decide Salman's fate
Mumbai, May 8 (IBNS) The Bombay High Court will decide on Friday whether he will be granted bail or will go to jail after his conviction in the 2002 hit-and-run case in which a man was killed.
On Wednesday, a trial court found the mega star guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced him to five years in prison for rash and drunken driving without a valid licence. .
Two petitions from Salman Khan will come up before High Court judge Justice AM Thipsay - a plea for bail and one against the lower court order.
Soon after he was sentenced, the 49-year-old actor moved the Bombay High Court, which granted him interim or temporary bail, allowing him to go home.
Salman Khan's appeals will be argued in the High Court by senior Supreme Court counsel Harish Salve and Shrikant Shivade, who argued the case in the Sessions court.
