Mumbai, Oct 06: A magistrate has summoned actor Salman Khan to appear in the court today for framing charges against him in a hit-and-run case.
The actor appeared before Magistrate S Y Sishode on September 26 but the charges could not be framed against him on that day as prosecutor R S Khandekar sought time saying he had not received the papers.
Earlier, the high court had dropped the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against Salman and directed the magistrate to frame other charges.
Salman is charged with IPC sections - 304-A (causing death by negligence), 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing hurt), 338 (causing grievous injury) and 427 (causing damage by mischief).
He is also charged with section 130 (1) 134 (A), 134 (B) 177 and 181 (3) of the Motor Vehicles Act.
Besides, the actor is charged with section 66 (1b) of Bombay Probibition Act, which prohibits driving after consuming liquor.
Salman was arrested on September 28 last year after he rammed his vehicle into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one person and injuring four others. He was later released on bail.
According to Defence Lawyer Dipesh Mehta, Salman is facing the trial in a magistrate's court for offence of rash and negligent driving and other offences which attract maximum two years jail term.
