The Salman Khan case trial is finally coming to a culmination. A Mumbai local magistrate has fixed a definite schedule for the hit-and- run case trial from November 8 after seeing that the prosecution has taken considerable time to examine witnesses in the case involving Salman
Khan.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate D A Joshi said that in view of the large number of witnesses and considering the time taken by the prosecution for examining five witnesses it appears that the trial would not come to an end at least for next three years minimum. Hence, the decision to have a definite time frame.
The chargesheet in the hit and run case which made waves in Mumbai says there are as many as 64 witnesses. However, the prosecution had examined only five of them in a span of three years from October 2003 to October 2006. This seems to have forced the court need for a definite time frame.
Salman Khan's lawyer Dipesh Mehta meanwhile told the court that so far 10 witnesses had been dropped by the prosecution. The next witness to depose on November 8 would be among the four who were injured when Salman Khan allegedly rammed his car into a bakery in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002, killing one person and wounding four others.
