Papers not ready: Salman Khan Bombay HC appeal adjourned to 1 July

The Bombay high court today adjourned Salman Khan’s criminal appeal against his culpable homicide conviction of five years in jail, until 1 July, ordering expeditious finalisation of the papers and documents.

When the matter came up on Monday, the actor's counsel Amit Desai informed the high court that the "paper book" - a compilation of all evidence and documents that is served to both sides by the court - was yet to be completed.

Justice A.R. Joshi ordered expeditious completion of the case papers before the formal hearing in the matter could be taken up. The judge posted the matter for July 1.

A lower court on May 6 sentenced the actor to five years in jail for various charges, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Khan, 49, appealed against the conviction in the high court which suspended his sentence and subsequently granted him bail.The superstar has been convicted for ramming his car into a bakery in Bandra west, killing one pavement dweller and injuring four others, on September 28, 2002.
