Nagpur: Salman Khan may be rejoicing his acquittal from the charges from the hit-and-run case, however he still has to wait before he finally heave a sigh of relief as Maharashtra government is still studying the December 10 Bombay High Court verdict, before deciding whether to challenge it or not.
The Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the government is studying the verdict and the state will take a decion. He however did not reveal any time-frame by when the state will reach its conclusion on the matter.
The prosecution in the case is understood to have recommended that an appeal be filed in the Supreme court.
On December 10, the Bombay High Court acquitted the 49-year-old star of all the charges in the 2002 hit-and-run case, holding that the prosecution had failed to prove he was driving the vehicle after having consumed alcohol.
The judgement came on an appeal by Salman,seven months after he was pronounced guilty by the trial court of running over five people sleeping on a pavement outside a laundry in suburban Bandra with his Toyota Land Cruiser, killing one and injuring four others on October 28,2002.
