Salman Khan has Completely Free From Hit-and-Run Case.....!!!!

The Bombay High Court has acquitted Salman Khan of all charges, setting aside the session court’s decision.

The court observed that the investigation was “faulty” with scant regard to procedure.

"The appeal is allowed and the decision of the trial court is quashed and set aside. Salman Khan is acquitted of all charges," news agency AFP quoted the Bombay high court judge Anil Ramchandra Joshi as saying.

The prosecution "failed to establish [the charges] beyond reasonable doubt", the judge added.

The actor, surrounded by his family members, broke down after hearing the verdict, the Press Trust of India reported.

Earlier in the day, the high court had asked Salman Khan to be personally present while the verdict is pronounced.

The verdict was dictated in an open court over the past three days. The Bombay High Court had discarded some crucial evidence which formed the basis of Salman Khan’s conviction by the lower court.

Earlier, the Bombay High Court had observed,

• Site map of the accident provided by Bandra police was prepared after the car was towed away from the spot.
• Infirmities in interview given to Mid-day (newspaper) by key witness Ravindra Patil as claimed by actor cannot be accepted.

During his trial in the lower court, Khan had argued that his driver had been behind the wheel, but the judge said it was the actor who had been driving under the influence of alcohol.

• Now the high court has said that key evidence - including testimony from a policeman who has since died - was not reliable.
• The prosecution is likely to challenge the verdict, reports say.
