Court raps Mumbai police for shoddy work in Salman case
17.18 IST   23rd Oct 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

The Sessions Court in Mumbai on Wednesday pulled up the police for filing a vague reply to the bail plea of film actor Salman Khan in a hit and run case.

The Court asked the investigating officer to explain his stand in writing and put off the hearing until October 24.

Sessions judge P V Bavkar decided to hear Salman's bail plea on October 24, as he wanted to go through the charge-sheet.

Salman's lawyer Harshad Ponda was also told to submit rulings of Supreme Court and High Courts on which he would rely in his arguments.

The court expressed its annoyance at the written reply of the investigating officer, who had stated that the charge-sheet had been filed against Salman and appropriate orders may be passed on his bail petition.

"What are you suggesting? Are you opposing his bail or not? Give a definite answer in writing," the judge said.

Prosecutor R V Kini submitted that the officer had left it to the court's discretion to grant bail to Salman.

Salman pleaded that he may be freed because investigations were over and a charge-sheet had been filed.

Seeking freedom, the 37-year-old actor pleaded that he was a popular hero in Hindi films for the last 14 years and one of the breadwinners of his family. Therefore his presence in Mumbai was essential.
