Salman's grim appearance

Salman Khan appeared before the Mumbai's Sessions Court yesterday for his 2002 hit-and-run case.

The court adjourned the case till April 28 as the prosecution sought more time.

Clad in a white shirt and blue denim jeans, Salman came to the court and sat on a bench along with his bodyguard and sister Alvira. He keenly watched the proceedings and left as soon as the court announced the next date of hearing.

The re-trial in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving actor Salman Khan was deferred till April 28 by a sessions court as the prosecution sought time to produce witnesses in view of police deployment on election duty. Investigating officer Rajendra Kane informed the court that police were deployed on election duty and hence they were not yet prepared to go ahead with the trial which was to commence today.

Sessions Judge D W Deshpande asked the prosecution to produce on April 28 the first witness who was injured in the mishap in which the actor was involved, followed by eye witnesses in May.
