Court rejected Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s plea seeking permission to sell his controversial car Toyota Land Cruiser, which he was driving and had allegedly hit and run over persons sleeping on a pavement in suburban Bandra killing one and injuring four on September 28 night in 2002. The actor after the incident was booked in the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under section 304 part II of the Indian Penal Code. However the Bombay High Court had rejected the section, and had suggested police to frame charge under 304 A of IPC (rash and negligent driving) instead of 304 part II. Earlier this year, the police had again sought that Salman be tried for more serious charge of ‘culpable homicide not amounting to murder’. The application has yet not accepted; in the mean time Salman had filed a plea at Bandra metropolitan court seeking permission for selling his car as he doesn’t need it any more. However court rejected the star’s appeal citing that the car is an evidence in the case and the trial is not over. The trial started in 2005.
